For what it is worth, I am able to build Maxima 5.46.0 with OpenBSD 7.3's sbcl the usual Maxima's way: ./configure --enable-sbcl && make - but only if I have modern makeinfo, version 6.8 or better. (same happens, actually, with ecl instead of sbcl, as well). With the standard ancient OpenBSD's makeinfo (part of texinfo), it fails at building docs (yes, one can of course use info and html docs shipped with Maxima instead) Is there any particular reason there is no modern makeinfo in OpenBSD? (the one that has texi2any executable, that's version 6.8 or newer) If it was the case it'd allow to drop several text2<something> ports, as they'd be all provided by texinfo. Dima
