Now my complete .info file looks like this: ------------------------------------------------ Package: bow Description: Statistical document classification library/scripts Version: 20010926 Revision: 1 Maintainer: Ken Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Source: http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~mccallum/bow/src/bow-20010926.tar.gz Homepage: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mccallum/bow License: LGPL DocFiles: README ChangeLog HACKING INSTALL NEWS TODO InfoDocs: libbow.info rainbow.info Patch: %f.patch CompileScript: << CPPFLAGS='-traditional-cpp -I%p/include' ./configure %c make make libbow.info make rainbow.info << ------------------------------------------------ I verify during 'fink rebuild bow' that 'makeinfo' is indeed being called and the .info files are getting created.
