Dear List,
in the course of a LOT of BLFS re-building, I have run into trouble while building the GConf-1.0.9 documentation (for the first time ever). The file gconf.types should be present - I think in <src dir>/doc/gconf/ - but it's not. The ChangeLog records this file being added in 1999, but that's the only explicit mention I can find. It certainly doesn't seem to be intended
to be a built object (even if it is, I can't find a rule for it).
  Can anyone shed any light?  Presumably whoever added the documentation
instructions to the page since my last visit thought it was possible... was this a packaging error which was corrected on autopilot and never made it into the build instructions?

Curiously, it seems not to have been in the released tarballs *at all* (I've checked most, but not quite all of them) before 1.1.6, long after the ChangeLog entry. I've grabbed the copy from 1.1.6, modified it as necesssary (not that there was much to it, but it DID
need to be modified), and at least it builds the documentation now.

The proper contents of gconf-client.h seem to be
#include "gconf-client.h"

gconf_client_get_type

and
<gtk/gtksignal.h>
should be added to the headers #included by
wrappers/gtk/gconf-client.h.

Now, I'd love to know that all this is unnecessary...
if not, should I raise a ticket?

                            Yours wearily,

                                                        Bernard Leak
