Hi, Andreas,
You made this change to manual/libc.texinfo:
1999-02-25 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.cs.uni-dortmund.de>
* manual/libc.texinfo: Wrap @top node inside @ifnottex instead of
@ifinfo.
which breaks "make install":
# make install
....
LANGUAGE=C LC_ALL=C makeinfo libc.texinfo
libc.texinfo:104: No matching `@end ifnottex'.
libc.texinfo:110: Unmatched `@end'.
makeinfo: Removing output file `/local/work/gnu/src/glibc/manual/libc.info' due to errors; use --force to preserve.
Did you have a different "makeinfo"? I have the one from texinfo 3.12.
If you take a look at the source code, discard_insertions () in
makeinfo.c. It allows "node" in "ifinfo", but not "ifnottex". Did
you patch your makeinfo to support "ifnottex"? I think we should
back out this change.
Thanks.
