Sphinx missing in doc/build/requirements.txt

Issue #3399 closed
Sam Zhang created an issue

The doc/build/requirements.txt file does not contain sphinx. This causes make to call the system sphinx-build instead, if it was previously globally installed. Then zzzeeksphinx is not found because it ran outside of the virtualenv.

    the requirements file is there strictly for use by readthedocs. I don't want to add a sphinx requirement there because RTD uses their own Sphinx version and I don't want that to break.

    will accept a PR for a README on how to build the documentation.
