- Subject: problems re: makeinfo '--split-size' arg?
So, i just tried building the head of the recently-created binutils
release branch (for target mips-elf, host x86-linux), and ran into:
/path/.../makeinfo: unrecognized option `--split-size=5000000'
My makeinfo has version:
> makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.0
>
> Copyright (C) 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

And the toplevel 'Makefile.tpl' says:
# For an installed makeinfo, we require it to be from texinfo 4 or
# higher, else we use the "missing" dummy.
While I realize that i should probably be using a newer 'makeinfo', I
cannot easily do so at this time.
I suspect that the top-level Makefile should be modified so that
it uses 'missing' instead of makeinfo if the --split-size option isn't
supported. (Looks like it was added in rev 4.1 of the texinfo
package.)
I suspect that a diff like the one below is in order. I tried it, and
it seems to DTRT for the version of makeinfo that i have (which is all
i tried 8-).
If approved, could somebody else please check it in for me? (I hacked
it into my Makefile.in by hand to test it, but i don't have autogen
and wouldn't want to check in an improperly-generated file, etc...)
thanks,
chris
