Comment 1 Daniel Espinosa 2017-09-29 21:41:51 UTC 
Valadoc Gtk-Doc doclet should be disable, because no reliable way to generate c documentation exists yet.

Have you tried to use Meson?
Comment 2 Daniel Espinosa 2017-10-01 14:54:35 UTC 
I've found this resource, so you should have a Gtk-Doc miss installation, because Autotools tries to call gtkdoc-scan and it is not found, try to check that please.
Comment 3 Daniel Espinosa 2017-10-17 21:37:39 UTC 
Gtk-Doc documentation generation is now removed, as for:
