gtk-spell 2.0.4 tries to use gtk-doc and if it's not installed it fails. I made an ebuild which disables it if you don't have doc in your use flags.
Created attachment 9051 [details] gtk-doc fix this is the ebuild
i don't understand, first of all it's autodetect so it shouldnt matter. Second i tried building without docs (i saw it was there), but that didn't work. Either i was very asleep or something changed overnight.
nope i can confirm that your ebuild does not allow me to disable the docs either, so there's not much point putting it in. You say it breaks when you don't have gtk-doc around ?
I can confirm Jordan's results.

then this packs config is pretty broken
Tristan's problem is the same exact one I had. It appears it installs files in /usr/share/gtk-doc whether or not you have gtk-doc installed, and without --disable-gtk-doc it also tries to run gtkdoc-scan.
so that means we either have to hack the config script to behave or always dep on gtk-doc (which isn't really nice either).
I'm not sure why the ebuild I provided wouldn't be enough, as it's not the only thing that installed html files in /usr/share/gtk-doc even though I don't have doc in USE. There's also other ebuilds that disable/enable gtk-doc the way I did (mr.project and libgsf are some I've found.) I'm not very familiar with editing config scripts but I'm taking a look at it anyway. It seems silly to require gtk-doc as it works fine with --disable-gtk-doc.
Created attachment 9140 [details, diff] patch to configure this is a patch to configure. It checks if gtkdoc-scan is around and if it's not it disables gtkdoc. It uses type -p to check for gtkdoc-scan.
ok, fixed. the real culprit was a declaration in configure(.ac) . Now the switch actually works like it should.
