Description Jeremy Bennett 2009-03-21 18:43:57 UTC 
Using "make ps" at the top level with GDB does not work:

  make: *** No rule to make target `ps'.  Stop.

Postscript documents can be built by changing to the "doc" directory and using
"make ps" there. However any images included (as EPS files) are not then found -
they must be manually copied from the source "doc" directory to the build "doc"
directory (this is an issue only for the recent update to gdbint.texinfo, which
now includes a diagram).

Note that on more recent Linuxes, building DVI, on which PostScript output
depends may fail as described in Bug 9975.

Problem demonstrated on Fedora Core 9 Linux and Centos 4.7 Linux.

Probably the top level won't ever support "make ps".
