Hi,

checking out libxfce4util and starting autogen.sh makes it not possible to call
a "make dist" afterwards since configure doesn't gets called with
--enable-gtk-doc and that makes "make dist" abort:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. svn up
2. ./autogen.sh
3. make dist

Actual Results:  
make  all-am
/usr/home/olivleh1/tmp/trunk/libxfce4util/install-sh -d
/usr/home/olivleh1/tmp/trunk/libxfce4util/libxfce4util-4.3.0svn-r18574/docs/..
make  
top_distdir="/usr/home/olivleh1/tmp/trunk/libxfce4util/libxfce4util-4.3.0svn-r18574"
distdir="/usr/home/olivleh1/tmp/trunk/libxfce4util/libxfce4util-4.3.0svn-r18574/docs"
 dist-hook
*** gtk-doc must be installed and enabled in order to make dist
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/olivleh1/tmp/trunk/libxfce4util/docs.


Expected Results:  
successfull run of make dist of course

maybe change autogen.sh and define XDT_CONFIGURE_FLAGS in autogen.sh with
  --enable-gtk-doc --enable-maintainer-mode
and then source xdt-autogen instead of execing it

Sorry, but I don't understand that bug report.

Use ./autogen --prefix=/blah/blah --enable-gtk-doc

That how autogen works. It's not supposed to set the configure option on your
behalf...
Comment 2 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2005-11-01 21:23:26 CET
Indeed, the only flag that autogen usually automatically passes to configure is
--enable-maintainer mode, as that's common convention.  Seeing as I run autogen
pretty often, I don't want to have to spend time building the docs all the time.
