Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2007-12-02 14:16:12 UTC 
Hi,
since Gtk 2.12.2 the Gtk devhelp documentation isn't installed anymore when --enable-gtk-doc is not given to configure. Before it worked fine.

One thing that I noticed is that gtk.devhelp and gtk.devhelp2 are missing from the tarball, maybe that's the cause...
Comment 1 Mart Raudsepp 2007-12-02 14:27:11 UTC 
2.12.2 shipped with a gtk-doc build error from a #ifdef in the tarball build procedure that caused over two third of the gtk reference manual files to not be generated into the tarball.
I had notified Matthias Clasen about it days ago (I noticed it then while working on getting the new version into Gentoo), and I believe he is in the process of consulting with the gtk-doc guys and once things are figured out a 2.12.3 should happen.
Confirming bug
Comment 2 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2007-12-02 14:38:57 UTC 
Do you have any details on the wrong #ifdef or maybe a workaround?
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2007-12-03 00:26:01 UTC 
The ifdef is not wrong.
gtk-doc mishandles it badly, see
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-doc-list/2007-November/msg00000.html

Unfortunately, no reaction from the gtk-doc guys, so at some point I'll have to dig myself.
Comment 4 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2007-12-04 14:49:37 UTC 
I have a patch for gtk-doc committed. Please retest and let me know.
Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2007-12-05 16:44:26 UTC 
Thanks, looks ok now.
