I'd like to make --disable-gtk-doc the default and add
--enable-gtk-doc to autogen.sh.
Reasons for this:
- Somebody building from a tarball has no reason to rebuild
the docs in almost all cases.
- Rebuilding the docs is slow. Really slow.
- Getting Jade setup can be a nightmare if you don't already
have a setup.
- We are bad about putting out gtk-doc realeases in sync
with GTK+ releases, so you often have to get gtk-doc
from CVS to build with --enable-gtk-doc.
[ Note that --enable-gtk-doc does check for gtk-doc, so if
you don't have gtk-doc installed at all, you are fine
currently. ]
Disadvantages:
- If you are developing gtk+, you'll have to remember
to add --enable-gtk-doc, unless you use autogen.sh.
(How many people develop GTK+ and don't use autogen.sh?
Windows developers don't count since I'd imagine that
getting the gtk-doc stuff to build on windows would be
as much fun as having your beard plucked out hair by
hair.)
Opinions?
