Make gtk-doc-less git builds work again
Last modified: 2010-08-20 06:19:22 UTC
Because of commit 53596f708d49d68639711669000be0f27e6adfec, the configure script will not recognize the option "--disable-gtk-doc" which was previously supported (and allowed to disable building documentation using gtk-doc). As a result, the configure script now fails with the warnings (I'm on a computer without gtk-doc): configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-gtk-doc ... ./configure: line 29087: syntax error near unexpected token `1.0' ./configure: line 29087: `GTK_DOC_CHECK(1.0)' The missing gtk-doc now prevents me from compiling GIMP...
I'll make sure to solve this somehow...
It's actually tricky What about we simply require gtk-doc for git building? It's not a hard dependency to get...
It's very very hard to get under windows... And we need windows builds, including for git versions to check the gtk stuff. I never managed to install it correctly on windows. I can try it again, but it's not trivial. BTW, the configure script is the one which fails, and as far as I know, you still need to run the configure script for the stable versions...
According to my testing it was actually pretty easy: commit 4f14da539118f7a4017c271b202c6c6ea304672b Author: Martin Nordholts <martinn@src.gnome.org> Date: Fri Aug 20 08:14:01 2010 +0200 Bug 625307 - Make gtk-doc-less git builds work again configure.ac: Check for GTK_DOC_CHECK avaiability before invoking. Should be enough to allow gtk-doc-less builds. please reopen if you still have problems.
