Re: [Simulavr-devel] [bug #42621] doc/simulavr.pdf build fails on Mac

[ThomasK]

Hi David,

this is also a bug connected with autotools tool chain. The doc/Makefile 
is generated, change anything there is useless, because overwritten on 
next configure call.

Your tex2dvi is newer and it looks so, that there was a change in cli 
interface, which autotools scripts don't know.

With all of this and because generating the make rules for docs are deep 
inside the autotools system and (my knowledge about this topic) this is 
very spare or not to configure, (I had some "fight" with that) we can't 
change this without replacing autotools or left out simulavr.info files. 
(I'm not sure, if it is easy possible to "deactivate" the doc rules 
without warning or error messages from autotools at all and to replace 
it by selfwritten rules)

I'll look for that next time. (together with the swig version problem) 
As a quickfix: comment out in doc/Makefile.am "info_TEXINFOS=..." 
followed by "./bootstrap; ./configure ...". Then it should not try to 
produce documentation and show this error.


cu, Thomas
