Description gabriele balducci 2007-09-11 09:44:22 UTC
Apologies if I'm missing something.

It seems to me that configure does not correctly recognize makeinfo version
>=4.10 (texinfo-4.11 has been just released)

The following patch fixes things for me (don't know if it's acceptable):

*** configure.ac.ORIG   Tue Sep 11 11:29:01 2007
--- mom Tue Sep 11 11:29:13 2007
***************
*** 2403,2409 ****
      # For an installed makeinfo, we require it to be from texinfo 4.4 or
      # higher, else we use the "missing" dummy.
      if ${MAKEINFO} --version \
!        | egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*([1-3][0-9]|4\.[4-9]|[5-9])' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        :
      else
        MAKEINFO="$MISSING makeinfo"

      if ${MAKEINFO} --version \
!        | egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*([1-3][0-9]|4\.[4-9]|4.[1-9][0-9])' >/dev/null
2>&1; then
        :
      else
        MAKEINFO="$MISSING makeinfo"
