There's no need to set -doc in your make.conf as this is the default: # euse -i doc global use flags (searching: doc) ************************************************************ [- ] doc - Adds extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc) local use flags (searching: doc) ************************************************************ [- ] doc (app-crypt/mit-krb5): Creates and installs the API and implementation documentation. This is only useful if you want to develop software which depends on kerberos. [- ] doc (app-misc/beagle): Builds programmer documentation for Beagle using app-doc/monodoc. [- ] doc (dev-php5/ZendFramework): Installs the documentation [- ] doc (dev-python/wxpython): Install HTML wxWidgets docs and wxpython API reference. [- ] doc (media-libs/swfdec): Build documentation [- ] doc (net-analyzer/cacti): install html documentation [- ] doc (net-print/hplip): Build documentation [- ] doc (sys-apps/hal): Generates documentation that describes HAL's fdi format.
