pango-1.22.4 missing gtk-doc dependency

[derhindemith@…]

Pango 1.22.4 with the +no_x11 variant does not install. It lacks the gtk-doc port. Installing that port solves the problem

The error is my favorite "gtkdoc-rebase: command not found":

Has duplicate #19059.

The gtk-doc doesn't appear to be a true dependency. The problem appears to be in the gtk-doc.make where there is a test for the existence of gtkdoc-rebase using which. It looks like the makefile writer is expecting 'which' to return a value which can be boolean tested into true.

[ryandesign@…]

Yes, please see #18200. The bug has already been filed with the gtk-doc team, they've already put in a fix, it will be in the next version of gtk-doc, once it's released, the fix will start appearing in the next version of every software that uses gtk-doc.

[ryandesign@…]

In r50151 I enabled gtk-doc in pango and added a dependency on gtk-doc, because 1) if gtk-doc is not requesed, pango still tries to use gtkdoc-rebase because the check for whether gtkdoc-rebase exists is written in a way that is incompatible with Mac OS X 10.4.x and earlier, so we would have to patch it to fix that (until gtk-doc 1.12 which fixed that problem is released and a new version of pango built using gtk-doc 1.12 is released); 2) even though pango already includes the documentation that gtk-doc generates, the included documentation has paths of the developer's system in it; rebuilding it gets paths to the version that has been installed.
