error: failed to run custom build command for `gdk-pixbuf v0.8.0`

[pepijndevos]

I'm going completely nuts over this one. How to reproduce:

cargo generate --git https://github.com/bodil/cargo-template-vgtk
cd somewhere
# optionally update to vgtk to 0.3
cargo build

error: failed to run custom build command for `gdk-pixbuf v0.9.0`

  process didn't exit successfully: `/home/pepijn/code/asic/tester/target/debug/build/gdk-pixbuf-6ab202b0be096025/build-script-build` (exit code: 101)

I'd just report a bug with gdk-pixbuf, but if I only add gdk-pixbuf = "0.8.0" to my Cargo.toml it works fine. I did have this working a couple of days ago, so I have absolutely no clue what is going on. I updated to vgtk = "0.3.0" which in some weird order of operations made it work earlier today, but can't reproduce.

The bug seems to be related to some weird documentation generation thing deep in the bowels of gtk. I'd be more than happy to just not have it do any documentation stuff...

[pepijndevos]

Patching vgtk as follows removes the documentation stuff. No idea what the implications of that are, but fixes my immediate problem.

[dependencies.gtk]
version = "0.9.0"
features = ["v3_20"]

[pepijndevos]

Seems there is a PR already that allows disabling this feature #61
