I think this is the problem:

- If you run make dist on a clean tree, it does not compile any code.

- On running "make dist", when you get to the gtk-doc directory (in our
case, docs/api), gtk-doc will try to generate the api docs for the
tarball, because we have explicitly enabled gtk-doc for when we are
building the dist target.

- The api docs are generated by scanning the gobjects in the libraries
that we build. Since this is a clean tree, none of the libraries needed
to create the scanner are built yet, so you get that error.

I hope that helps.
