Re: glib make errors

["Richard Warren" <rew primagraphics co uk>]

I had the same problem a long time ago when building glib-2.0.0 on a Solaris
2.5.1 machine.

It's not a very nice fix, but to get around it I simply added a dummy
"all-local" target to the docs/reference/glib/Makefile file so that it would
carry on building okay but I just wouldn't get whatever came out of the
documentation directory (since I had downloaded the tarballs anyway).  The
target did nothing, i.e. was just a "all-local:" line followed by a blank
line.

I believe that I had to do a similar thing for the docs/reference/gobject
directory and then again for the gdk-pixbuf, gdk and gtk directories when
building gtk+-2.0.0 afterwards.

It was all okay after that.

Hope that helps,
Richard Warren.
