Bug 381389 – media-gfx/gimp-2.7.3 needs USE doc, currently hard dependency dev-util/gtk-doc-1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jeff Kowalczyk 2011-09-01 03:54:53 UTC]

I run ~amd64 USE=-doc, but gimp pulls in gtk-doc unconditionally. This should be corrected to have a doc use var.

$ USE="-udev" emerge gimp -pv
[ebuild  NS    ] app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.3-r1 [4.1.2-r6, 4.2-r2, 4.4-r2, 4.5-r1] 82 kB
[ebuild  N     ] dev-util/gtk-doc-1.17  USE="-debug -doc -emacs -highlight -test -vim" 0 kB

$ grep -B 4 -A 4 gtk-doc /usr/portage/media-gfx/gimp/gimp-2.7.3.ebuild 
DEPEND="${RDEPEND}

        >=dev-util/gtk-doc-1"


Reproducible: Always

I actually changed this from 2.6.11 to 2.7.3: to my understanding the configure script checks for gtkdoc unconditionally.  It will need a patch upstream.

Gimp is not maintained by the GNOME team.

That's probably a wrong understanding. If you eautoreconf, you probably just need gtk-doc-am, which just installs a perl script for cross-link fixing and the .m4 file you need for the eautoreconf to succeed. And then full gtk-doc only with USE=doc that gets a $(use_enable doc gtk-doc) through gnome2.eclass, as is the case with the old gimp-2.6 ebuilds - they just didn't need to eautoreconf and hence unconditionally need gtk-doc-am. Please check it that way in the light of this information.

leio, thanks for joining this thread.

It seems to me that even with the lines

  epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${P}-glib-2.29.patch
  eautoreconf

*removed*, (the original/shipped) configure checks for gtk-doc, see this:

  # USE=-doc ebuild gimp-2.7.3.ebuild manifest clean configure |& fgrep -i gtkdoc
  checking for gtkdoc-check... /usr/bin/gtkdoc-check
  checking for gtkdoc-rebase... /usr/bin/gtkdoc-rebase
  checking for gtkdoc-mkpdf... /usr/bin/gtkdoc-mkpdf

Ok, but maybe that's fine as long as --enable-gtk-doc isn't passed? Just temporarily remove gtk-doc from your system and see what happens with USE=-doc ?

Actually that seems to work.  Fixed, closing.
