Nope ... some kind of "magic dance"  [maybe some environment variable?]

*** gtk-doc must be installed and enabled in order to make dist
make[3]: *** [dist-check-gtkdoc] Error 1

gtk-doc is installed but I am not sure what is needed to be "enabled"

There is a "magic dance" ... you need to add "--with-docs" to the ./autogen
