Brokken Subject: "make info" fails with new versions of texinfo User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/24.3.50 (gnu/linux) Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:56:23 +0200 Message-ID: <87hajc2htk.fsf@ft.bewatermyfriend.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain X-Df-Sender: [pbs]MzQ5NTM4 Hi list, on IRC someone noticed "make info" breaking. I then tried building info documentation with texinfo versions 4.13 and 5.1, and indeed the newer version fails with the following output: [snip] makeinfo ./zsh.texi ./zsh.texi:433: warning: @item missing argument ./zsh.texi:1083: warning: @item missing argument ./zsh.texi:1654: warning: @item missing argument ./zsh.texi:14714: warning: @item missing argument ./zsh.texi:22674: @itemx must follow @item ./zsh.texi:23289: warning: @item missing argument ./zsh.texi:23434: warning: @item missing argument ./zsh.texi:23867: warning: @item missing argument ./zsh.texi:23895: warning: @item missing argument ./zsh.texi:25010: warning: @item missing argument ./zsh.texi:25013: warning: @item missing argument ./zsh.texi:25016: warning: @item missing argument make[1]: *** [zsh.info] Error 1 [snap] I have virtually no idea what's going on. Maybe someone with stronger texinfo-fu can take a look? I am Cc:ing Frank B. Brokken, who appears to be the yodl-guy, according to http://yodl.sourceforge.net. If this is a case of yodl generating texinfo sources incompatible with newer versions of texinfo maybe he can help. Just a short recipe for Frank to reproduce, if he wants to: [snip] % git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/zsh/code zsh % cd zsh % ./Util/preconfig % ./configure % make info [snap] The last step, at least with texinfo version 5.1, will fail during a "makeinfo" call as shown further above.
