Re: Updated: tetex-3.0.0-3 - now missing texi2html which is *mandatory* for Cygwin DLL build
Hi, Shaddy Baddah wrote: It seems that texi2html has dropped out/moved out of the binary package. Is this deliberate? Where should I look for it now? Sorry if this seems like impatience, but I am not sure I captured the severity of this problem in my original email... and since response has been a little mute, I may have been at fault. The Cygwin DLL build has a dependency on texi2html, which was available as recently in tetex-bin-2.0.2-15. It seems to have been left out of tetex-bin-3.0.0-3. It is not an installation problem local to me. Check out http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=texi2html and you will notice that it is not in tetex-bin-3.0.0-3, or any other binary package that it may have moved to. As it is required (or semi-required if you are happy to workaround the particular make targets that use it) for the build of the Cygwin DLL, I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say that it would be considered a critical bug. Looking forward to a tetex-3.0.0-4 package release soon.

Looking forward to a tetex-3.0.0-4 package release soon. Why wait? Just download 'tetex-bin-2.0.2-15', 'bunzip2' it, and extract the executable from there using 'tar'. If you had previously installed that version on your machine, you can skip the downloading and just go straight to your local package directory for it. And, of course, there's always the source if you just have to have a version which you cannot get from anywhere else. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

You are right, absolutely nothing wrong with doing this, and I will do this, thanks. I normally try to avoid this though, as I always try my damnedest to limit the number of non-package files manually installed to package exclusive locations. Thus my looking forward (more hope than request) to a new package build.

The Cygwin documentation directory does have such a dependency but I don't see why this is a severe problem. You are right, the DLL itself does not have a dependency on texi2html. That is my interpretation, and I apologise for stating it as fact. My interpretation is drawn from the fact that the default make target does make a call to texi2html, and therefore will fail. But I acknowledge that the default make target's dependency on texi2html does not equate with a dependency of the Cygwin DLL build. Sorry about that.

Hi, Allow me to correct myself before someone else does.

I am doubly wrong :-(, because it will/does not fail. The exit status of the texi2html call is ignored. ... also, I spelt moot wrong in the original post. I am a little embarrassed by this foray into the Cygwin mailing list :-(, hopefully I can make up for it in the future with positive contributions.

There is also a copy of texi2html in the cygwin-doc src package because I've tried to keep the look constant whether I actually build the package on cygwin, debian, or fedora. By the way, all documentation build failures are silently ignored. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
