Hi All,
Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but with the right conditions,
glib-2.66.0 will install gtk-doc-1.32.1.
On a fresh build box I had gtk-doc-1.32 installed, and was in the process of
building glib-2.66.0 (for the second time) when it failed with a git not found
error.
On closer inspection, it was trying to git clone gtk-doc repo due to not meeting
the gtk-doc >= 1.32.1 requirement as a fallback.
After installing git, this time the glib-2.66.0 build was successfully and on
closer inspection, it had actually installed the gtk-doc-1.32.1 subproject.
what make it worse is that there is no gtk-doc 1.32.1 release, but in fact just
the latest from git repo from what I can tell.
This is not the first time I had noticed a "fallback" with a meson gnome
package build recently. I'm not happy that dependencies are being installed without
consent.
Regards,
Wayne.
Hi Wayne,
Are you building glib with -Dgtk_doc=true by chance? A couple of us have
tried building glib2 with gtk-doc installed, and without gtk-doc
installed, and we're unable to reproduce this problem. We have known it
to happen from time to time, but we'd like to know exactly what causes
it as well.
I'm not happy about dependencies being installed without consent either.
