- Subject: [PATCH] Make "all" depend on "info"
I've broken "make info" a couple of times now, because I sometimes
forget to run "make info" after modifying a Texinfo file.
I don't know why gdb's "make all" doesn't build the info pages. I
suspect this was some Cygnus-local oddity back in the day.
This patch changes doc/Makefile.in so that the info pages are built by
"make all". As a point of reference, Automake has essentially always
worked this way. According to the Automake manual (I didn't
double-check) this is required by the GNU coding standards.
The first time I sent this patch, I mentioned that I wanted to look
into some existing bugs in bugzilla about missing "makeinfo".
However, today I tried and I discovered that BFD requires makeinfo,
and builds its info file as part of "all". So, I think this change
doesn't worsen the situation for users in any way, and can simply go
in.
