Sway: manpages don't build with scdoc 1.9.1

[CaptainBloodz]

sway version 1.0-rc1-130-g4431ae68 (Feb 28 2019, branch 'HEAD')
/usr/bin/scdoc < ../sway-9999/sway/sway-ipc.7.scd > sway-ipc.7: Error at 217:1: Expected either '|' or ':'

You need scdoc 1.9. See https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/3788

[CaptainBloodz]

Ok, indeed 1.8.1 here

Similar problem with scdoc 1.9.1

Ninja gives

Same here, looks like you really need scdoc ==1.9.0: https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc/archive/1.9.0.tar.gz
I managed to compile sway using this version.

1.9.0 PKGBUILD: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/scdoc&id=a46e2500bfe54d01c15d2381b2f54c5ef34d6034

There is a bug in scdoc 1.9.1. The patch to fix it has been submitted (https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/public-inbox/%3C20190228171655.3854-1-bosrsf04%40gmail.com%3E)

Out of curiosity, why not using pandoc to build the doc instead of scdoc ?

[Ferdi265]

the ArchLinux community repo has switched to scdoc 1.9.1. For now it is impossible to build sway on ArchLinux with manpages without downgrading scdoc.

From IRC:
emersion ╡ workaround: meson -Dman-pages=disabled

[RedSoxFan]

Update: scdoc was patched ~90 minutes ago so the current scdoc master should allow building sway with man pages enabled. 1.9.1 is still the newest release, but the patch should be included in the next scdoc release

[RedSoxFan]

scdoc 1.9.1 is no longer the newest scdoc release so I'm going to close this. sway should have a successful build when man pages are enabled with scdoc 1.9.0 and 1.9.2 or newer.
