When makeinfo is of the opinion it is missing its input file, and make has a dependency for it, there is no other way to get it confused about its existence. >> And it would seem that it ran one rule that removed >> out/contributor.texi at an unexpected point of time. >> > > That's just one possibility.

I am providing information and impressions from my own experience and knowledge in order to help the original poster have a better idea how to figure out what is wrong. I am not stating a diagnosis, just likely relevant information. Your stance is that he is not going to figure out anything anyway, and that he should provide more information to people having more of a clue. I don't like that approach. I am not selling my educated guess as anything other than it is, so I don't see the point in you complaining about me giving it. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
