Enrico, I don't have makeinfo available for my Windows NT native build of XEmacs. What I do is this: I let XEmacs build the info files from the texi sources, which takes about 4 minutes for me. You need to have the texinfo package installed for that. This is what I have installed: texinfo 1.14 XEmacs TeXinfo support. Just load the attached build-info.el and then use M-x makeinfo-xemacs I did just that and texinfo.texi, like all the other texi files, gave me no errors at all. 8< 8= 8< 8= 8< 8= 8< 8= cut here 8< 8= 8< 8= 8< 8= 8< 8= (require 'config) (defun makeinfo-from-texinfo (file) "Run XEmacs in batch-mode to produce info files from Texinfo input FILE."
