Description Jan de Groot 2007-04-09 17:31:02 UTC 
Since gnome-doc-utils 0.10.2, using --disable-scrollkeeper to build packages is completely broken. We use it on our distribution to skip the "scrollkeeper-update" step.

There's a notice in the changelog telling about fixing --disable-scrollkeeper to build without scrollkeeper, but this way things don't build anymore when that flag is passed while scrollkeeper is installed.

If using --disable-scrollkeeper is wrong to disable regeneration of scrollkeeper database inside a package, please tell me the other options we have, if there isn't any, this is a critical bug for distribution packagers, as it takes away the possibility to create clean packages.

Wow, that was fast.  0.10.2 was released like 15 minutes ago.
Comment 2 Shaun McCance 2007-04-09 17:44:32 UTC 
So this was the extent of the change referenced in the ChangeLog:

http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-doc-utils/trunk/tools/gnome-doc-utils.make?r1=884&r2=904

Do you get error messages, or are there just missing files in the package?
Comment 3 Shaun McCance 2007-04-09 17:46:30 UTC 
Ooooh.  Are you getting an error that looks like this?

echo "The file '$(_skcontentslist)' does not exist." >&2;
echo "Please check your ScrollKeeper installation." >&2;
Comment 4 Jan de Groot 2007-04-09 17:48:31 UTC 
The file '' does not exist, please check your Scrollkeeper installation

That's what I was getting when building evolution. A run of gnome-autogen.sh fixed that problem, as then my local gnome-doc-utils installation gets used for that.
Comment 5 Shaun McCance 2007-04-09 18:09:40 UTC 
Can you try with the latest from SVN trunk?
Comment 6 Jan de Groot 2007-04-09 18:13:52 UTC 
Works fine with the latest change in SVN trunk.
Comment 7 Shaun McCance 2007-04-09 19:56:39 UTC 
I've rolled a 0.10.3 with these changes.

(In reply to comment #8 and Bug 429762)
I'm using gnome-doc-utils 0.10.3 with control-center 2.18.1 and still get the error in comment #4 (Using nothing more than the released tarballs).
Shouldn't be a fixed control-center-2.18.2 released?
Comment 10 Jan de Groot 2007-04-15 10:29:58 UTC 
Running gnome-autogen.sh with the required parameters regenerates the gnome-doc-utils files inside control-center and evolution.

As quick workaround, you can also run this one before running configure:
sed -i -e 's/@ENABLE_SK_TRUE@_s/_s/' help/Makefile.in
