Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] which Ubuntu version for MXE master branch?

[Volker Grabsch]

Dear Hamza,

I don't think we need to patch something.  As I suspected, a simple
Make argument is all we need to prevent gdb from rebuilding the docs:

-    $(MAKE) -C '$(1)' -j 1 install
+    $(MAKE) -C '$(1)' -j 1 install MAKEINFO=true

That replaces the MAKEINFO tool with the dummy program "true" that
does nothing and returns a success value.  I just commited this:

https://github.com/mxe/mxe/commit/5c6a7e90a59f402cdc31bba5e49a61a801ba48e3

Please check if that works for you.


Regards,
Volker
