No need to beat yourself up.  Although I've had a run of misreading of
email lately both here and (more embarrassingly) with customers at work,
so I know how you feel.

We all make mistaks.  It's how we lern.

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.

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.

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.

Shaddy

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.

Shaddy

The Cygwin DLL build does NOT have a dependency on texi2html.  The Cygwin
documentation directory does have such a dependency but I don't see why
this is a severe problem.

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.

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.

Thanks in advance,
Shaddy
