Description Pacho Ramos 2010-09-02 12:25:19 UTC 
This was originally reported downstream at:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334489

configure checks for presence of "source-highlight", "highlight" and "vim", and
in case one of them is found its path is embedded in /usr/bin/gtkdoc-fixxref.
From build.log:

   checking for source-highlight... no
   checking for highlight... no
   checking for vim... /usr/bin/vim

Then, if vim was present when building gtk-doc and, later, I remove it, gtk-doc will fail.

Would be nice to be able to choose between highlighters with a configure switch like:
"--with-highlight=(none|vim|source-highlight|highlight|auto)"

Thanks a lot

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612028 is a related bug about this.

Sounds like a good idea. Anyone care to make a patch? Still in similar ways removing a library will cause all apps to fail that where linking against it.

Here is a tentative patch. It allows selection of a particular highlighter, desactivation of the feature or automatic selection.
