• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WONTFIX
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Tomasz Kłoczko]

Looks like something is missing in latest version because it fails on building documentation

This is likely fixed in main because gtk-doc has been removed.

That's right, we're now using gi-docgen and we _want_ to make sure
it keeps working with GTK4 builds. On the other hand, we never made
any effort to make gtk-doc work when configuring the build for GTK4.

Tomasz: I am afraid you will need to use -DENABLE_GTKDOC=OFF in
combination with -DUSE_GTK4=ON -- sorry about the inconvenience.

[Michael Catanzaro]

That's OK, since USE_GTK4=ON is still unstable in 2.36.
