Description Stepan Kasal 2005-09-16 19:12:50 UTC 
CVS Autoconf introduces docdir, which defaults to prefix/share/doc/packagename

xmldocs.make also defines docdir, which conflicts with this variable. Automake
issues a warning.  According to my tests with Automake 1.9.6, both definitions
are outputted, and the "docdir = @docdir@" is lower, so things won't work as
expected.

Autoconf only obeys GNU Coding Standards here, so if you are not willing to
change the name of the variable to resolve the problem, you have to wrestle with
GCS.

xmldocs.make is copied from scrollkeeper.
So this problem will hit just about every app that uses scrollkeeper.
Comment 2 Stepan Kasal 2006-03-15 13:21:35 UTC 
OK, so I reported it as a scrollkeper bug

Comment 3 Damon Chaplin 2006-04-15 12:05:30 UTC 
I've change gtk-doc to use gtkdochelpdir.
