texi build error in current CVS

[Oystein Viggen]

Hi,

I don't think I've seen this error before:

cd texi && make EMACS="emacs" all
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/xdrift/oysteivi/cvs/gnus/texi'
if test "xmakeinfo" != "xno" ; then \
  makeinfo -I . --enable-encoding -o gnus gnus.texi; \
else \
  rm -f gnus; \
  emacs -batch -q -no-site-file -l ./infohack.el -f batch-makeinfo gnus.texi; \
fi
gnus.texi:11: Unknown command `copying'.
gnus.texi:34: Unmatched `@end'.
gnus.texi:330: Unknown command `insertcopying'.
makeinfo: Removing output file `gnus' due to errors; use --force to preserve.
make[1]: *** [gnus] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/xdrift/oysteivi/cvs/gnus/texi'
make: *** [info] Error 2

This is in current CVS on a Debian woody (current stable) system.
I don't really know texinfo, so I didn't pursue the problem further..

You need texinfo 4.2 or newer for the @copying and @insertcopying
commands.  A backport of texinfo 4.6 for Debian 3.0 (woody) is available
from <URL: http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/packages/woody/bunk-2.html>.

Cheers,

Otherwise, use `make MAKEINFO=no'.  It may split info files into
too small fragments, though.

Thanks, that seems to work.
