gtkdoc-rebase false positives in Makefiles - docs borked
Last modified: 2011-01-04 17:47:11 UTC
Please describe the problem: I started receiving a message that gtkdoc-rebase is not found when building 2.12.3 on Solaris 9, which kills the build process. Upon further investigation it looks like the test for gtkdoc-rebase can never be false: A quick grep -R for gtkdoc-rebase show this through out the Makefiles in trunk: if test "`which gtkdoc-rebase`" != ""; then \ gtkdoc-rebase --relative --dest-dir=$(DESTDIR) --html-dir=$(DESTDIR)$(TARGET_DIR) ; \ fi This can never be true because which always returns "no $ found...." when the command is not within $PATH. So the script believes gtkdoc-rebase exists and then fails. This is probably also related to this bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502005 Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
This issue should be finally resolved by the fix for Bug#562310.
