Is dev-libs/gobject-introspection installed with the "doctool" use flag?

If not, does installing it in advance with --oneshot (and then trying to reinstall gimp-9999) have any effect?

Try turning off the doc flag (gimp).

You shouldn't really turn on doc flags unless you know what you're doing.

OR do what rab0171610 suggested, make sure the doctool flag is set for gobject-introspection.

Doctool is enabled but gtk-doc is not.

Tried that but same error.

Hi All:

This looks like a typo in the config setup for the build in gimp-9999 so I just installed media-gfx/gimp-3.0.0_rc2 which built just fine,.

Cheers,
john

[Hu]

What exactly is the typographic error? Remember that as a -9999 build, this is tracking upstream's work, so it could be that g-ir-doc once worked, and upstream subsequently renamed or removed this option. If the option is gone and not coming back, then the -9999 build will need to be modified not to use that option.

g-ir-doc option does not exist anymore

    devel-docs: get rid of g-ir-doc.

Not a typographic error, per se, they just removed an option.
Which was probably reflected in the build file
