gnome.gtkdoc() expands File arguments to builddir paths not sourcedir paths

[tp-m]

Got a build error with gnome.gtkdoc() because it can't find the gobject.types file specified as:

gnome.gtkdoc( ...
             gobject_typesfile : 'gobject.types',
             ...)

so I tried using files() instead:

gnome.gtkdoc( ...
             gobject_typesfile : files('gobject.types'),
             ...)

but this got expanded to --gobjects-types-file=/tmp/builddir/docs/reference/gobject/gobject.types'.

Which seems unexpected?

Both should work, definitely. Passing a string that is not an absolute path where a file path is expected should try to resolve it relative to the current directory, and passing a files() object should do exactly as you expect it.
