If I'm reading the ebuild correctly, currently having USE=-doc does not disable building the documentation. Setting USE=doc would probably have worked as a workaround, because then emerge would pull gtk-doc as a dependency. I've mentioned this problem on IRC, but I haven't filled anything at bugzilla. I wonder if replacing $(meson_native_use_feature doc) with $(meson_native_use_feature doc docs) is enough? (I haven't tested it, though) -- Nuno Silva

It is recommended to > enable per package instead of globally Well, I finally did manage to get harfbuzz installed which brings up another question. First, I tried to find the package for the /usr/bin/gtkdoc packages and found none. So, on a hunch, I emerged dev-utils/gtk-doc and discovered I did not have the package in my install. So, I did it anyway and after that harfbuzz installed. So, the question is, should I put that in my world file -- which seems wrong to me, or is there a missing dependency somewhere or what? -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

Well, no joy, I think -doc was already selected because no * was after it and I get the same error as before. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.
