I don't think this issue is a duplicate of bug 298560. In fact, it's a known bug of evolution-data-server when building without kerberos support and a fix has already been commited upstream: http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/commit/?id=f6a1d8754a83fe147ef89cc29dcff4cf8c19ce0c

[Comment 5 Pacho Ramos 2010-12-17 09:58:18 UTC]

Reporters, please try to build it with USE="-doc", if it succeeds, it is bug 298560

[Comment 6 Jonathan-Christofer Demay 2010-12-17 10:09:42 UTC]

Did you read the comment that come with the commit I just linked ? I quote: "Apparently when building without Kerberos support the entire contents of camel-sasl-gssapi.c is omitted, which breaks generating API docs because camel-scan.c expects a camel_sasl_gssapi_get_type() regardless."

So yes, this bug happens when generating API docs, but not because of gtk-doc (bug 298560). It's because of buggy C code in camel/camel-sasl-gssapi.c.

In fact, I had no problem building gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-2.32.1 including the docs before I dropped the kerberos USE flag and applying the commited patch fixed this issue.

[Comment 7 Stephan Friedrichs 2010-12-17 12:58:40 UTC]

Jonathan is right, gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-2.32.1:0::gentoo builds with USE="doc kerberos" and USE="-doc -kerberos", but not with USE="doc -kerberos" (which was my setup when I filed this report).

[Comment 8 Jonathan-Christofer Demay 2010-12-17 13:38:47 UTC]

It will be fixed in the next minor version bump, but in the mean time, here is the patch...

Thanks for find the patch, we will need to carry it since upstream only committed it to "master" and not 2.32 branch.

Well, looks surprising to me how could you apply that patch that cannot be applied :-/

This is a try to backport it, but compilation fails :-(

Oops, I forgot that sasl_gssapi_challenge was renamed sasl_gssapi_challenge_sync before submitting the patch. Here is a backported patch.

Works fine, thanks a lot :-D
