Hi Kiyo,
The building of recent CVS version fails with the following message.
You met same problem as I faced (and reported titled 'build failure for
nb1.6') several days ago.
Sorry for missing your message. I did not think that would be a
problem to me.
Same here ;(

Since Kaffe's CVS tree is not a GNU distribution, *.info files
being missing may not be a bug. But I think there sould be
some comment on the required texinfo version.
I have not checked the contents of this documentation, but my feeling
is (even if Kaffe is not part of GNU distribution) this should be a
bug :-)
If noone has objection to put prebuilt *.info file into CVS, I will
do that in this weekend.
Sounds fine to me. Do the info files get built during a make dist step?
Then we could simply add a "make dist classpath" step to the resync
script, and untar that over the classpath dir, instead of copying the
files over.
It is OK for me. But external/classpath comes from GNU Classpath,
so the problem is wheher GNU Classpath should keep prebuilt info
files in their CVS repository. GNU Classpath is a GNU distribution,
so released GNU Classpath packages must have prebuilt info files,
of course. But whether or not they should always be kept in the
CVS repository may be another question. Anyway I will ask GNU Classpath.
In general, GNU Classpath tries to keep generated files out of its CVS,
so no configure scripts, Makefile.in files, and I guess no info files
either. It's a different phiolosophy. ;)
That's why the resync-classpath script does an autogen.sh call on the
newly checked out GNU Classpath.
cheers,
