    <para>The <application>GTK-Doc</application> package
    contains a code documentor. This is useful for extracting specially formatted
    comments from the code to create API documentation. This
    package is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>; if it is not installed, packages will
    not build the documentation. This does not mean that you will not have any
    documentation. If <application>GTK-Doc</application> is not
    available, the install process will copy any pre-built documentation to your
    system.</para>

    <title>Installation of GTK-Doc</title>

    <para>Install <application>GTK-Doc</application> by running
    the following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>sed -i '/^pkgconfigdir/s/datadir/libdir/' &amp;&amp;
./configure --prefix=/usr &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>

    <para>The test suite requires that the package has been installed first, and
    in any case it fails because of a missing file, so there is little point
    in running it.  If you insist on seeing the results, as a normal user run:
    <command>make check</command>.</para>
