Re: info_TEXINFOS should not assume source file exists

There was a stab at a related issue by Paolo recently: where it turned out that more work is needed. You may want to coordinate with Paolo (Cc:ed). I would be

Re: info_TEXINFOS should not assume source file exists

On a second thought: another way to work around the problem: create a small foo.texi with @setfilename and @include foo-main.texi which would be the "real one" generated from foo.dbk. This is the ideal solu^B^B^B^Bworkaround and seems to work perfectly. Yes, I considered this a bug. Do you

Re: info_TEXINFOS should not assume source file exists

Thank you both for getting back to me. I share Ralf's feelings, but I do not see many options here: - you may generate a *.texi stub, as you suggest - you may compute foo.texi is from foo.dbk in bthe bootstrap script - or you may refrain from using info_TEXINFOS and put the rules to Makefi

info_TEXINFOS should not assume source file exists

Hello, I generate my "foo.texi" Texinfo documentation from DocBook ("foo.dbk") and using the info_TEXINFOS rule in my Makefile.am causes automake to check for "foo.texi" before completing. As "foo.texi" is generated by a rule in my Makefile I have to have my bootstrap script touch the "foo.texi"
