Description U. Artie Eoff 2012-05-25 09:10:35 UTC

----

When gtkdocize is not installed and specifying "--disable-gtk-doc" to autogen.sh, autogen.sh fails with the suggestion to install gtk-doc.  However, it does not make sense for autogen.sh to fail this early if the user specifies "--disable-gtk-doc".  autogen.sh should honor the "--disable-gtk-doc" option and not fail.  Not all linux distro flavors have the gtk-doc package.

./autogen.sh --disable-gtk-doc
which: no gtkdocize in ...
*** No GTK-Doc found, please install it ***

It should be fixed in cairo master by

    build: Allow autogen-eration on systems without GTK-doc
    
    The autogen.sh script fails if it cannot run gtkdocize. The absence of
    this command should not cause cairo builds to fail, it should only
    prevent the build of its documentation.
    
    Fixes:
    *** No GTK-Doc found, please install it ***
    
    on systems without gtkdoc tools.
