I try build cygwin-doc-1.7-1 without success.

[Oleksandr Gavenko <gavenkoa at gmail dot com>]

Motivation to do this is to fix issue with incorrect info header for 'libc.info'
and 'libm.info'.

Instead:

  START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
  * libm::                   An ANSI-C conforming mathematical library.
  END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

'libm.info' should contain:

  INFO-DIR-SECTION Cygwin
  START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
  * libm: (libm).            An ANSI-C conforming mathematical library.
  END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

With first variant 'info libm' show man page instead info page.

Also Emacs from Cygwin show error:

  byte-code: No such node or anchor: libm

With second variant all utils work fine.

I get sources (cygwin-doc-1.7-1-src.tar.bz2) from mirror:

  $ tar jxf cygwin-doc-1.7-1-src.tar.bz2
  $ cd cygwin-doc-1.7-1
  $ mkdir _build _dist
  $ cd _build
  $ ../configure

Get error in 'configure' on line:

  soc=$(find  /usr/share/sgml/[Oo]pen[Ss]p* -name xml.soc)

as my Cygwin installation have /usr/share/sgml/OpenSP path (last chat is
capital).

I fix 'configure' to:

  soc=$(find  /usr/share/sgml/[Oo]pen[Ss][Pp]* -name xml.soc)

and get 'Makefile'. 'Makefile' build failed with a lot of errors and warnings:

  $ make cygwin2info

for f in src/*/*.sgml; do \
	    docbook2texi -o src/texi -e no-idref -e no-significant -e no-valid -c /usr/share/sgml/OpenSP/xml.soc -d src/cygwin.dsl $f; \
	done

What do I wrong?

I am build on Cygwin 1.7, is this correct or I must do this on Linux?

Where VCS for this package?
