[sr #110503] Autoconf 2.70 problem: gkt-doc/gtkdocize is now unconditionally required

[Zack Weinberg]

Follow-up Comment #5, sr #110503 (project autoconf):

I tried just now to flesh out the fragment you provided into a complete test
case, and I failed.  Given this configure.ac


AC_INIT([issue110503], [1])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign])

# check for gtk-doc
m4_ifdef([GTK_DOC_CHECK], [
GTK_DOC_CHECK([1.14],[--flavour no-tmpl])
],[
AM_CONDITIONAL([ENABLE_GTK_DOC], false)
])

AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT


and a stub Makefile.am to match, autoreconf -iv prints:


autoreconf: export WARNINGS=
autoreconf: Entering directory '.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Intltool
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gtkdoc
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Autoheader
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --no-force
configure.ac:2: installing './install-sh'
configure.ac:2: installing './missing'
autoreconf: Leaving directory '.'


This with Autoconf 2.71.  Please supply us with a _complete_ configure.ac that
reproduces the problem.
