All GTK apps are failing when trying to compile their respective /doc folder. Please note that scrollkeeper, jade are installed, so I don't get why ALL my gnome/gtk apps will fail when doing the parsing on the scrollkeeper folders...

Do you have gtk-doc installed?
Comment by Eugenia Loli-Queru (Eugenia) - Wednesday, 21 April 2004, 01:59 GMT
yes
Comment by dorphell (dorphell) - Wednesday, 21 April 2004, 02:39 GMT
So, to clerify.. the compile fails at runtime?

[Whatever the answer to that is, please post some output for me to see]

Many doc builds are broken. Some build, most don't. We have tonnes of packages with --disable-docs or --disable-gtk-doc in the PKGBUILD. FreeBSD builds all packages without gtk-doc by default because it's so broken.
Comment by Eugenia Loli-Queru (Eugenia) - Wednesday, 21 April 2004, 07:20 GMT
Well, the same packages are not appear broken on Slackware or Fedora, so...

Eugenia, again, you're still generalizing.. What packages SPECIFICALLY?
Comment by dorphell (dorphell) - Wednesday, 21 April 2004, 20:01 GMT
"All" is completely inaccurate, and if that is the case for you, then you have done something wrong yourself because most gtk-doc related pkgs build with our gtk-doc pkg fine, and if they don't, we've added --disable-gtk-docs to those ones so they should build without error as well. It is possible that you caught one or two, but most certainly not "ALL pkgs".

..now please give me some meaningful input.

libgda, libgnomedb, rhythmbox and one more that I can't remember.
Comment by dorphell (dorphell) - Wednesday, 21 April 2004, 21:28 GMT
Okay good, now we go somewhere with this. I'll assign this bug to whoever owns those, none of those are mine. (Again, not "All apps" just 4)
Comment by dorphell (dorphell) - Wednesday, 21 April 2004, 21:31 GMT
Humm, we don't even have libgda, libgnomedb in our repositry. Where do you see them?
Comment by Eugenia Loli-Queru (Eugenia) - Wednesday, 21 April 2004, 22:34 GMT
I downloaded them from gnome.org's repository because you don't offer them! That's why I HAD to compile them!

I really don't get you guys and you don't get me.

But the point is, libgda and other gnome apps DO compile without problems on slackware, mandrake and Fedora, while it doesn't on Arch. That was the bug report: many gnome apps don't compile. It has nothing to do with specific Arch packages.

Eugenia, I really don't understand what was going through your mind when you submitted this bugreport about packages we don't even maintain. To make it even worse, you didn't mention at all. I had to ask you twice before it came up.
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Thursday, 22 April 2004, 14:04 GMT
Hmm, now you name 2 of those dirty packages: libgda and libgnomedb. I packaged those today in my unofficial repository, and both needed the --disable-gtk-doc.

About working fedora and slackware: Do those come with the same gtk-doc version and the same XML catalog as archlinux comes with? Something has changed in the last gtk-doc things, which causes this breakage with most packages. It seems developers don't give a shit if their GTK-DOC builds or not, it's optional and the program works fine without it. Without gtk-doc, you'll get precompiled HTML documentation.
