Introduction to GNOME Doc Utils

The GNOME Doc Utils package is a collection of documentation utilities for the GNOME project. Notably, it contains utilities for building documentation and all auxiliary files in your source tree, and it contains the DocBook XSLT stylesheets that were once distributed with Yelp.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.2 platform.

Package Information

GNOME Doc Utils Dependencies

Required

Intltool-0.50.2, libxslt-1.1.28, Python-2.7.5 (Required to be installed prior to libxml2-2.9.1) and which-2.20

Recommended

Rarian-0.8.1

Rarian is listed as recommended even though GNOME Doc Utils will build fine without it. If you don't install Rarian (and you pass the the appropriate flag to the configure command so that it will build without it), functionality will be missing that is expected later in other GNOME packages.
