Well, yet again I have not seen your original post (which probably
means I'm likely to get unsubscribed again becuase my ISP dislikes
many of your postings and apparently sends a status which gets
treated as 'undeliverable'.

I don't normally build yelp, and I didn't think I had the
dependencies, but I've just given it a DESTDIR build and install,
and it was happy to build without gtk-doc.
So, I think there is something *severely* broken in your system.
Either that, or you are trying to force it to build the docs (in the
absence of gtk-doc).

Just like the ticket you raised which I closed earlier:
:configure: WARNING:
You will not be able to create source packages with 'make dist'
because gtk-doc >= 1.13 is not found.
checking for gtk-doc... no
checking for gtkdoc-check... no
checking for gtkdoc-check... no
checking for gtkdoc-rebase... no
checking for gtkdoc-mkpdf... no
checking whether to build gtk-doc documentation... no
Because I didn't think I had the dependencies, I initially gave it
just ./configure | less - at the end it reported
yelp-3.28.0:
prefix: /usr/local
source code location: .
compiler: gcc
Documentation: no
Debug enabled: info
Enable BZ2: yes
Enable LZMA: yes
