From the info dir file in /usr/share/info, you can't get to the info
files for libc or libm, because their entries are wrong. The file
cygwin-1.5.12-1/newlib/libc/libc.texinfo in the source distribution
for cygwin-1.5.12-1 contains the following lines near the top of the
file:
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* libc::The ANSI C library.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
This incorrectly instructs info to look for a node named libc,
which doesn't exist. The correct entry would be:
* libc: (libc). The ANSI C library.
This tells info to look for the *file* libc.info. There is a similar
problem in cygwin-1.5.12-1/newlib/libm/libm.texinfo:
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* libm::An ANSI-C conforming mathematical library.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
This entry, of course, should read:
* libm: (libm). An ANSI-C conforming mathematical library.
Thanks Steve.
Problem 1 is that these files come from newlib.
Problem 2 is that they're in both cygwin and cygwin-doc. When did they
get back into
the cygwin package?
