Description Michael Catanzaro 2017-04-27 14:52:54 UTC 
I get this error doing a completely fresh (clean build dir, clean source dir) build of GStreamer using JHBuild: 'jhbuild build gstreamer'

Building documentation for gstreamer

Error in gtkdoc helper script:

Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2017-04-27 15:04:37 UTC 
Probably has same root cause as bug #780738 which is:

https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1681
Comment 2 Christoph Reiter (lazka) 2017-04-27 15:24:36 UTC 
Hitting the same error. This helped for now:

1) start shell
2) mesonconf -Ddisable_gtkdoc=true
3) rerun build
Comment 3 Michael Catanzaro 2017-04-27 16:03:15 UTC 
Fixed for future jhbuild users by https://git.gnome.org/browse/jhbuild/commit/?id=595267a9352cc86d14f992098770556accbcb22d
Comment 4 Tim-Philipp Müller 2017-04-28 18:43:28 UTC 
Meson 0.40.1 has just been released. It should fix this issue. Thanks for the bug report.
