See line 348-352 and around 4134. One way to detect if this scenario has occurred or not is to check the version of /usr/share/pkgconfig/gtk-doc.pc after the build/install. Version: 1.32.1 would indicate that it had.

I have not seen that, because I used the book instructions verbatim, and we do not pass -Dgtk_doc=true (BTW, the book is wrong, there is no "doc" option, it is "gtk_doc"). > 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.

It's already the case for rust packages, python modules (setup.py downloads dependencies if needed), perl modules if you use cpan, java jars if you use maven, needed packages for libreoffice, and so on... With the notable exception of Ken for perl modules, book editors don't always try to mention those dependencies, because it is too time consuming, and it means adding a lot of packages to the book. Sometimes, downloading a non released version of a package is necessary (see cairo, for example) for other packages to be functional. In this case, gtk-doc is a circular dependency (it depends on glib2, but can use an older version). Maybe we could do like cairo, and provide gtk-doc "1.32.1" on anduin...

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. - Doug -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
[blfs-dev] glib-2.66.0 meson fallback and gtk-doc
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.
