[Gtk-osx-users] GTK docs shouldn't be required

[Philip R. <ph...@gm...>]

Hi there,

I needed to build gtkosxapplication to run RawTherapee. I cloned from git
and encountered this error when running autoreconf.

$ autoreconf -i
glibtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
glibtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh'
...
docs/Makefile.am:1: error: ENABLE_GTK_DOC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
automake: error: cannot open < gtk-doc.make: No such file or directory

After some amount of googling, I arrived at a two-step solution:

1) Install the brew package named "gtk-doc" (fixes first error).
2) Create a dummy gtk-doc.make text file comprised of this line (fixes
second error):

EXTRA_DIST=

This worked. I'm writing the user group, however, because this seems like a
bug I'm working around. Is this behavior designed? The README (
https://github.com/jralls/gtk-mac-integration) implies that documentation
isn't even built by default.

I'm running OS X 10.10.1 with autoreconf 2.69.
