Full_Name: Gordon Lack Version: 2.4.0 OS: Redhat Linux AS2.1 Submission from: (NULL) (198.28.92.5) Not sure whether this is a configure issue or an R one. It's only a minor issue, so this is really just FYI. The code in configure checks for the version of makeinfo by splitting the version string into a major and minor component. The tests on these assume they are numeric. RHAS2.1 shipped with a makeinfo version of "4.0b" The result is this: ===== checking whether makeinfo version is at least 4.7... ./configure: test: 0b: integer expression expe...

I was cross-building R-devel (1.7.0). The tail of the error message from running make on a machine with makeinfo (GNU texinfo 3.12) 1.68 is at the end of this email. The same procedure went fine on a machine with makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.1. My first guess is that the version of makeinfo is causing this. However, this didn't happen with R-1.6.2beta. Please advise.

Hi, Is it really true that nobody isn't able to give me a clue why makeinfo fails with this error: doc/cpp.texi:50: Unknown index `vr' and/or `op' in @synindex. ------------------------- make[2]: Entering directory `/C/Projects/src/llvm-gcc/gcc' for d in libgcc; do \ if [ -d $d ]; then true; else /bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs $d; fi; \ done if [ -f stmp-dirs ];...

I built R form source succesfully on my Fedora 22 box. No errors. I can read there is an issue with some manuals at build time when running makeinfo, especially these two: doc/manual/R-exts.texi cp doc/manual/R-intro.texi Some distro have hacks about makeinfo 5 in their build script. I wonder if some manuals are broken but couldn't see it when running make. May someone tells me more about this issue and what can I do to make sure these m...

Hi! I'm currently a final year student of Informatics Institute of Technology Sri Lanka affiliated with the University of Westminster, a successful GSOC 2017 participant <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#6522320890888192>. Witnessing the usage of machine learning and information retrieval I'm keen to contribute to The Xapian project thus, enhancing my skills in machine

Hi, I have been trying to make llvm-gcc under CygWin and am getting a makeinfo error. I have tried it on the command line :- makeinfo --split-size=5000000 --force -I /usr/src/llvm-gcc/gcc/doc -I /usr/src/llvm-gcc/gcc/doc/include -o /usr/src/llvmgcc/gcc/doc/cpp.info /usr/src/llvm-gcc/gcc/doc/cpp.texi And get the resulting output :- $ makeinfo --split-size=5000000 --force -...

When I build R-devel (or the alpha snapshots) on a system without makeinfo >= 4.7, I get a warning about not being able to build HTML/Info help pages after running 'configure' (but 'make' runs smoothly and there are no errors). However, when I run 'make install' I get an error, something like make[2]: Entering directory `/home/rpeng/R-local...

I do not know whether it was my Cygwin configuration or something I have done or not done or whether it is a valid build error. I did try MinGW...

hi all, sorry when i am off topic, but: i am trieing to compile the new e2fsprogs like the ext3-manual recommend. but it don't want to work, and it's look like i need a programm which is named "makeinfo". does anybody had the same problems, or know where i can find it? thanks for all.. i added my error-log Andreas log: make[1]: Wechsel in das Verzeichnis Verzeichnis »/tmp/e2fsprogs-1.22« cd doc && make libext2fs.info make[2]: Wechsel in das Verzeichnis Verzeichnis »/tmp/e2fspro...

I suspect what's going on here is that bootstrap will by default download, build and install (into a subdirectory of the build tree) any of the autotools for which suitable...

...eps given in the guide file "HACKING". Before executing the bootstrap script, I install the asked tools with the command: > apt-get install build-essential m4 perl python zlib1g-dev uuid-dev wget bison tcl But while I execute bootstrap, an error stopped the process with message "makeinfo is missing". I checked detailed error info and installed texinfo. Then bootstrap works successfully. I suppose it may be caused by one of the two reasons: As Ubuntu and Debian are best supported by Xapian, maybe texinfo is installed by default in these systems, but not available in my environ...
