Starting with webkit-gtk+-1.11.90, `eautoreconf` is failing in the `gtkdocize` phase, because required macro GTK_DOC_CHECK is not located inside the configure.ac file anymore and has been moved into Source/autotools/FindDependencies.m4 file. The project's `autogen.sh` uses following autoreconf command to initialize the autotools stack from clean git checkout: autoreconf --verbose --install -I Source/autotools $ACLOCAL_FLAGS|| exit $? and this doesn't seem to be calling gtkdocize at all. Therefore it should be possible to disable this step somehow.
So, use AT_M4DIR="Source/autotools" eautoreconf
(In reply to comment #1) > So, use AT_M4DIR="Source/autotools" eautoreconf We already did that before, but now it breaks like this: * Running eautoreconf in '/home/tmp/portage/net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.11.90-r300/work/webkitgtk-1.11.90' ... * Running gtkdocize --copy ... [ !! ] * Failed Running gtkdocize ! And error from gtkdocize is following: [snip] ***** gtkdocize ***** ***** PWD: /home/tmp/portage/net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.11.90-r300/work/webkitgtk-1.11.90 ***** gtkdocize --copy gtkdocize: GTK_DOC_CHECK not called in configure.ac [/snip]
this blocks epiphany-3.8
