Bugzilla Bug 16997

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.

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. Without gtk-doc, I get the following errors
from gtkspell-2.0.4:

If I use Jordan's patched ebuild, gtkspell appears to build and install
properly:

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.

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.
