"./autogen.sh --enable-doc && make" produced this error:
warning: failed to load external entity "../settings-spec.xml"
../network-manager-docs.xml:57: element include: XInclude error : could not load ../settings-spec.xml, and no fallback was found
Removing settings-spec.xml from $(content_files) made the file non-DISTed but it
also removed the file as a dependency for html-build.stamp that also runs
cd html && gtkdoc-mkhtml $$mkhtml_options $(MKHTML_OPTIONS) $(DOC_MODULE) ../$(DOC_MAIN_SGML_FILE)
and $(DOC_MAIN_SGML_FILE) includes settings-spec.xml.
Fix that by making $(DOC_MAIN_SGML_FILE) dependent on setting-spec.xml.
The generated settings-spec.xml should not be DIST-ed because it's
regenerated every time libnm-util changes. That meants it gets
rebuilt during 'make' even from a dist tarball. Thus, it shouldn't
be part of the dist tarball itself.
In addition, settings-spec.html shouldn't be included in
$(content_files) becuase this is added to EXTRA_DIST by gtk-doc.make.
Since generate-settings-spec.c the move from docs/api/ to tools/,
this started breaking distcheck even though the original Makefile
rules were wrong too.
The refentry xml is used to generate manual page with settings description.
The invocation is:
generate-settings-spec <type> <output file> [<type> <output file>]
where <type> is "book" or "refentry"
Use --enable-doc and --enable-tests instead of --with-docs and
--with-tests. This is consistent with other features and with
--enable-gtk-doc option. Support current variants as fallback.
Don't build tests unless --enable-tests is specified.
Since all.xml is a built file these days, and will contain paths
relative to $(top_srcdir)/introspection even though it's not in
that directory, it seems we need to clue xsltproc into where the
other API XML files really are.
Apparently sometimes when doing the distcheck the generator can't
open the file for writing (gets ENOACCESS) presumably because there's
already a file there that's read-only. So remove any existing
settings spec before regenerating.
gtk-doc removes the 'html' directory as part of the build process
so we need to have spec.html generation depend on the gtk-doc html
target. Also, fix up the paths to make sure the generated spec.html
gets copied into the final 'html' directory.
