I believe this was discussed on this list a few weeks ago, but if not, I apologize and we'll try to be more careful in the future.

Ar an fichiú lá de mí Bealtaine, scríobh Adam Sjøgren: The crux is the version of *makeinfo*. makeinfo 4.13 has no problems with the current source, but makeinfo 4.8 (of 2004, also on the FreeBSD machine I use) chokes on it. It’s possible, but the trade-off given the size of the merged changes suggested require a more recent makeinfo was the way to go. That said, there’s an implementation of makeinfo in Emacs Lisp that XEmacs uses on the NT build. It should be possible to check whether makeinfo chokes on a more recent construct, and use the (slower) Lisp implementation if so. Exam season for me, though, I won’t get to it for a week and a half at least. -- “Apart from the nine-banded armadillo, man is the only natural host of Mycobacterium leprae, although it can be grown in the footpads of mice.” -- Kumar & Clark, Clinical Medicine, summarising improbable leprosy research _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
