The `perl` variable in meson.build is assigned to a program lookup, which may have the value "not-found object" if configuring with `-Dperl=disabled`. There is already a list of other cases where we do need a perl command, even when not building perl bindings. Building documentation should be one of those cases, but was missing from the list. Add it. Fixes: ``` $ meson setup builddir/ -Ddocs=man -Dperl=disabled -Dtests=false [...] Documentation/meson.build:308:22: ERROR: Tried to use not-found external program in "command" ``` Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/949247 Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@xxxxxxxxxx> --- meson.build | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/meson.build b/meson.build index efe2871c9d..c6241c7a12 100644 --- a/meson.build +++ b/meson.build @@ -772,7 +772,7 @@ endif # features.
