Hello,
when I try to compile texinfo-4.0 package with gcc 3.0.2 make stops
on line 567 of info.c:
info.c:567:1: directives may not be used inside a macro argument
.
The problem resides into the #ifdef directive inside the printf
call... and since in gcc 3.0.x printf is defined as a macro (is that
so? I'm 90% sure...) ...
I tried this small fix. It appears to work fine... at least my
compiled 'info' program does not show strange behavouir in the help
(target: linux mandrake 8.0, intel i686, gcc 3.0.2, glibc 2.2.2).
Maybe it needs some testing under MS-DOS, but I think it should work fine.
HTH,
Danilo

Usage: %s [OPTION]... [MENU-ITEM...]\n\
\n\
Read documentation in Info format.\n\
\n\
Options:\n\
--apropos=SUBJECT look up SUBJECT in all indices of all
manuals.\n\
--directory=DIR add DIR to INFOPATH.\n\
--dribble=FILENAME remember user keystrokes in FILENAME.\n\
--file=FILENAME specify Info file to visit.\n\
--help display this help and exit.\n\
--index-search=STRING go to node pointed by index entry STRING.\n\
--node=NODENAME specify nodes in first visited Info file.\n\
--output=FILENAME output selected nodes to FILENAME.\n\
--restore=FILENAME read initial keystrokes from FILENAME.\n\
--show-options, --usage go to command-line options node.\n\
--subnodes recursively output menu items.\n%s\
--vi-keys use vi-like and less-like key bindings.\n\
--version display version information and exit.\n\
\n\
The first non-option argument, if present, is the menu entry to start
from;\n\
it is searched for in all `dir' files along INFOPATH.\n\
If it is not present, info merges all `dir' files and shows the result.\n\
Any remaining arguments are treated as the names of menu\n\
items relative to the initial node visited.\n\
\n\
Examples:\n\
info show top-level dir menu\n\
info emacs start at emacs node from top-level dir\n\
info emacs buffers start at buffers node within emacs manual\n\
info --show-options emacs start at node with emacs' command line
options\n\
info -f ./foo.info show file ./foo.info, not searching dir\n\
