GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 505068
release tarball uses gtk-doc 1.9
Last modified: 2008-01-04 23:58:54 UTC
0.6.1 has been release with gtk-doc.make from 1.9 It makes installation fail when gtk-doc is absent from the box and changes from previous behavior in that even if you have passed --disable-gtk-doc and that you don't care about doc regeneration, cross-linking and whatnot, and you just want the doc verbatim from the tar, you're screwed. The configure.ac still states >=gtk-doc-1.4 should work but given the above, please either raise this check to 1.9 or release tarballs with previous version of gtk-doc-1.9 I understand that this might be more of a gtk-doc bug but I thought it was still a dev branch while goffice-0.6 is a stable branch. Thanks for considering.
I can confirm this bug: I do not have gtk-doc and tried to compile goffice 0.6.1 with --disable-gtk-doc. Configure does not find gtkdoc and disables docs: || checking whether to build gtk-doc documentation... no || checking for gtkdoc-check... no But build fails because of missing gtkdoc-rebase...
