Re: Errors building 1199 on Mac OS 10.14.6

Hi,

the main problem is that without UTF-8, APL characters cannot be displayed.
I suppose it is quite a challenge to write an APL manual without APL characters :-).

Since the build does not fail anymore, I will leave matters as they are.

Best Regards,
Jürgen

That release is 15 years old. I'm not entirely sure that trying to accommodate such old versions is something that a lot of time should be spent on?

The build finishes without errors, since it is only a warning. But I will try with touching the files, just out of curiosity.

Hi Louis,

thanks. This seems to occur on some platforms (especially Apple) and
for some makeinfo versions. Lots of messages about this on the web,
but little of it can be done inside GNU APL.


Could you please check with:

makeinfo --version

? And does the build succeed or stop with an error?

If the build succeeds then the warning can simply be ignored, otherwise I could
fix the Makefile.am so that the build continues despite of the error.

Normally the makeinfo is not needed because the output files are also in SVN.
Therefore

touch apl.html apl.info in directory doc

before make should fix this issue.

Best Regards,
Jürgen

Tried it with 1200 this morning.

Much better, but i still get those 2 warnings:

Making all in doc
/bin/sh /Users/lchretien/Subversion/apl/missing makeinfo apl.texi -o apl.info --no-split || touch apl.info

Hi Louis,

seems like .texi syntax has changed (builds ok on my box).
I have removed a blank which might have been the culprit.
Please let me know if the problem persists. SVN 1200.

In the meantime you can simply touch the output tiles (apl.info and apl.html).

Best Regards,
Jürgen

Unfortunately, there seems to be some error messages when trying to make the “doc” directory:
