I am currently checking portability of bootstraping the cvs on free
platforms
In general, bootstrapping CVS is a very different question from
installing the release. It is not a goal of mine to support
bootstrapping Texinfo CVS in an arbitrary environment. I think that
would be a tremendous amount of pain for no discernible benefit.
BTW, last I knew, BSD make does not support VPATH builds, you have to
have GNU make.
Anyway ...
So, is there a reason why you used $(srcdir)/ in the rule?
Good question. I suspect I more or less didn't know what I was doing,
thinking that I had to use $(srcdir) because I wanted to distribute
those files. Or maybe I was trying to avoid requiring help2man for
bootstrappers. Or wrongly thinking of them as related to BUILT_SOURCES
somehow. As you can tell, I don't really remember. If you want to
experiment with removing the $(srcdir), feel free. I do (think I) agree
with your argument in general.
Thanks,
