Latest 21.5 updates: texinfo breaks in compiling

As of "XEmacs 21.5 (beta33) \"horseradish\" 2257ac0e8a47+ [Lucid] (x86_64-apple-darwin12.4.0, Mule) of Sat Jun 22 2013 on grendel.frinabulax.org" the file man/texinfo.texi will not compile on Mac OS X (10.8) using the system's makeinfo (version 4.8). I have macports installed, and it supplies the 4.13 tech info package; however, /opt/local/bin is usually after /usr/bin in my build environment. I suggest that configure be given additional rules to assure that the supplied makeinfo is new enough to compile the manual sources. When I run the configure/build process with a path that places /opt/local/bin before /usr/bin, the build and subsequent install succeed. After 'make real clean', grabbing the changes with hg, configuring, and issuing 'make' I get an error when makeinfo 4.8 is used. The error occurs near the end of the build during the documentation compilation phase: cd /Users/royar/src/xemacs-hg/man && make info makeinfo -P texinfo -o ../info/texinfo.info texinfo/texinfo.texi texinfo/texinfo.texi:10389: Unknown command `frenchspacing'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10392: Unknown command `frenchspacing'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10718: Unknown command `quotedblleft'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10718: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10718: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10719: Unknown command `quotedblright'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10719: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10719: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10720: Unknown command `quoteleft'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10720: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10720: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10721: Unknown command `quoteright'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10721: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10721: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10722: Unknown command `quotedblbase'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10722: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10722: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10723: Unknown command `quotesinglbase'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10723: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10723: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10724: Unknown command `guillemetleft'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10724: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10724: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10725: Unknown command `guillemetright'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10725: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10725: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10726: Unknown command `guilsinglleft'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10726: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10726: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10727: Unknown command `guilsinglright'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10727: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10727: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10925: Unknown command `textdegree'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10925: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10925: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10928: Unknown command `textdegree'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10928: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10928: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10968: Unknown command `geq'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10968: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10968: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10968: Unknown command `leq'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10968: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10968: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10972: Unknown command `geq'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10972: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10972: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10973: Unknown command `leq'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10973: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10973: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:11082: Unknown command `clicksequence'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:11082: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:11082: Unknown command `click'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:11082: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:11082: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:11082: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:11108: Unknown command `clickstyle'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:11108: ＠result expected braces. texinfo/texinfo.texi:11109: Unknown command `clicksequence'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:11109: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:11109: Unknown command `click'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:11109: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:11109: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:11109: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:11108: ＠result missing close brace. texinfo/texinfo.texi:17472: Unknown command `arrow'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:17472: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:17472: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:17901: Unknown command `geq'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:17901: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:17901: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:18051: Unknown command `leq'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:18051: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:18051: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10715: Unknown command `guilsinglright'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10715: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10715: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10713: Unknown command `guilsinglleft'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10713: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10713: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10711: Unknown command `guillemetright'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10711: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10711: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10708: Unknown command `guillemetleft'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10708: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10708: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10688: Unknown command `quotesinglbase'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10688: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10688: Misplaced }. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10686: Unknown command `quotedblbase'. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10686: Misplaced {. texinfo/texinfo.texi:10686: Misplaced }. makeinfo: Removing output file `../info/texinfo.info' due to errors; use --force to preserve. make[1]: *** [../info/texinfo.info] Error 1 make: *** [info] Error 2 -- Robert Royar <xemacs(a)royar.org&gt; _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
