emerge --info '=net-libs/libgfbgraph-0.2.4::gentoo'

When emerging net-libs/libgfbgraph-0.2.4, the following error emerged during the build process, resulting in build failure:

> emerge '=net-libs/libgfbgraph-0.2.4'

automake-1.16: error: cannot open < gtk-doc.make: No such file or directory


The problem was resolvable by first emerging dev-util/gtk-doc before emerging net-libs/libgfbgraph-0.2.4. The build failure is easily reproducible by removing dev-util/gtk-doc and reemerging libgfbgraph.

Confirming, I just ran into the same thing (on a stable image? seems was added in stable).

[Comment 2 Pednick 2021-04-17 20:09:08 UTC]

Also confirming, same here.
