Hello all,
I must admit my Christmas Wishes for you all are not entirely without self-interest 😇
I recently had to reinstall GNUStep on my FreeBSD laptop. As I'm on FreeBSD, I used the ports system. When installing the gnustem-gui port, I had an error. The installation displayed a list of missing html documents, and ended with error code 1.

The only error I found until now was with a call to texi2pdf for AppKit.texi . I suppose my version of texi2pdf is too old or too new, but before I start messing with versions, could someone tell me if the error above can be caused by texi2pdf failing. After all, it is complaining about missing HTML documents, not PDFs. I tried the texi2pdf with the AppKit.texi file from the command line, and I got the same error as the one from the installation:
