Integration with plain makefiles or other build systems
In the case one does not want to use automake and therefore gtk-doc.mak one will need to call the gtkdoc tools in the right order in own makefiles (or other build tools).
Example 2-7 Documentation build steps
DOC_MODULE=meep // sources have changed gtkdoc-scan --module=$(DOC_MODULE) <source-dir> gtkdoc-scangobj --module=$(DOC_MODULE) gtkdoc-mkdb --module=$(DOC_MODULE) --output-format=xml --source-dir=<source-dir> // xml files have changed mkdir html cd html && gtkdoc-mkhtml $(DOC_MODULE) ../meep-docs.xml gtkdoc-fixxref --module=$(DOC_MODULE) --module-dir=html
One will need to look at the Makefile.am and gtk-doc.mak to pick the extra options needed.
