Change GST_DOC to GST_DOCBOOK_CHECK in configure.ac (380 bytes, patch)

Description John (J5) Palmieri 2005-09-09 22:23:25 UTC
Please describe the problem:
This is for gstreamer-0.8.11.  I noticed one of the plugins wasn't building as
it had in the past.  On diffing and older tarball that did build the plugin and
the newer tarball I noticed GST_DOC was replaced by GST_DOCBOOK_CHECK but
GST_DOC was still being used by configure.ac which caused other macros to fail
causing the side effect of the one module not building.  It was an unimportant
module (qcam) so this most likely went unnoticed.

Steps to reproduce:
1. compile the source



Actual results:
qcam isn't compiled (side effect)


Expected results:
qcam is compiled

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
I have a patch

Comment 3 Tim-Philipp Müller 2005-10-19 12:11:45 UTC
The GST_DOC m4 macro has been renamed to GST_DOCBOOK_CHECK only in
common/m4/gst-doc.m4 in CVS HEAD, but not in the 0.8 branch. However, the
autogen.sh script in the 0.8 branch did not check out the branch 0.8 of the
common/ CVS module at the time 0.8.11 was released, so that macro wasn't
expanded correctly.

This has been fixed in autogen.sh shortly after the 0.8.11 release by this commit:

http://cvs.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins/autogen.sh?r1=1.44.6.1&r2=1.44.6.2&only_with_tag=BRANCH-GSTREAMER-0_8

In other words: it should be fixed in 0.8.12.


No idea if this was really the reason why the qcam plugin didn't build though.
The qcam plugin is only available on Linux/i386, but configure doesn't really
show that on a Linux/non-i386 system. Will fix that too.

Please re-open if you're still having problems with qcam.

 Cheers
  -Tim
