Description Gilles Dartiguelongue 2008-09-07 16:00:36 UTC 
Hi,

please don't use gtk-doc 1.9 to produce tarballs as it used to (and probably still) generated bad makefiles issuing breaking build when gtk-doc isn't installed on the machine while it didn't do this before.

In gentoo we've used this patch since 2.21 to circumvent the problem:
@@ -139,8 +139,7 @@ install-data-local:
          done; \
          echo '-- Installing $(srcdir)/html/index.sgml' ; \
          $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/html/index.sgml $(DESTDIR)$(TARGET_DIR) || :; \
-         which gtkdoc-rebase >/dev/null && \
-           gtkdoc-rebase --relative --dest-dir=$(DESTDIR) --html-dir=$(DESTDIR)$(TARGET_DIR) ; \
+         gtkdoc-rebase --relative --dest-dir=$(DESTDIR) --html-dir=$(DESTDIR)$(TARGET_DIR) || true ; \
        fi

Using gtk-doc 1.10 would also make the problem go away. Thanks for considering.

Is this still an issue?  What version of gtk-doc was Evolution 2.24 released with?
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2008-10-21 14:15:08 UTC 
Closing as OBSOLETE since this was a transient bug to begin with.
