Hello all, I must admit my Christmas Wishes for you all are not entirely without self-interest 😇 I recently had to reinstall GNUStep on my FreeBSD laptop. As I'm on FreeBSD, I used the ports system. When installing the gnustem-gui port, I had an error. The installation displayed a list of missing html documents, and ended with error code 1.

The only error I found until now was with a call to texi2pdf for AppKit.texi . I suppose my version of texi2pdf is too old or too new, but before I start messing with versions, could someone tell me if the error above can be caused by texi2pdf failing. After all, it is complaining about missing HTML documents, not PDFs. I tried the texi2pdf with the AppKit.texi file from the command line, and I got the same error as the one from the installation: gmake[4]: Entering directory '/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gnustep-gui/work/libs-gui-gui-0_28_0/Documentation/manual' Making all for doc AppKit... texi2pdf \ AppKit.texi -o AppKit.pdf This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (Web2C 2015) (preloaded format=pdfetex) restricted \write18 enabled. entering extended mode (./AppKit.texi (/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex Loading texinfo [version 2015-05-06.11]: pdf, fonts, markup, glyphs, page headings, tables, conditionals, indexing, sectioning, toc, environments, defuns, macros, cross references, insertions, (/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/epsf/epsf.tex This is `epsf.tex' v2.7.4 <14 February 2011> ) localization, formatting, and turning on texinfo input format.)
