Dunno, for me the fact that gtk-doc is so slow is extremely annoying in my normal dev workflow, especially when it rebuilds the docs just because I or someone else touched a source file somewhere (i.e. pretty much constantly when you git pull from a module that's actively worked on by many people). For almost all modules I maintain, gtk-doc is slower by a factor N than the rest of the entire build, so that really kills productivity. Many devs I know build everything with --disable- gtk-doc by default for that reason. As such I found it quite refreshing that meson does not build the docs by default :) I'm sure it would be fairly easy to add a kwarg or switch somewhere to make it build the docs by default though if that's really wanted. > I often do: > $ cd docs/ > $ make clean > $ make > > to see if there are any warnings. If it's mixed up with install > output, it's far less convenient. There's a target to just build the docs without installing them, so you can just do ninja foobar-doc (with optional -C builddir). I have no solution for your vi file-from-srcdir file-from-builddir conundrum, but me I don't do that often enough to really care :) Cheers -Tim _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
