A Bison user reports that he can't build its Postscript documentation.
It appears to be a problem with the way that texinfo.tex handles the
following pattern:
@ifset documentparam
...
@deffn {Directive} %parse-param @{@var{argument-declaration}@}
...
@end deffn
...
@end ifset
Here's how I reproduced the problem on a Debian GNU/Linux box
that has texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo 4.2) 0.51 installed:
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-1.875.tar.gz
tar xzf bison-1.875.tar.gz
cd bison-1.875
./configure
cd doc
make bison.ps
The last command generated the following output:
TEXINPUTS="../config:$TEXINPUTS" \
MAKEINFO='/bin/sh /tmp/src/bison-1.875/config/missing --run makeinfo -I .' \
texi2dvi `test -f 'bison.texinfo' || echo './'`bison.texinfo
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.7)
(/tmp/src/bison-1.875/doc/bison.texinfo (../config/texinfo.tex
Loading texinfo [version 2002-12-26.16]: Basics, pdf, fonts, page headings,
tables, conditionals, indexing, sectioning, toc, environments, defuns, macros,
cross references, (/usr/share/texmf/tex/plain/dvips/epsf.tex) localization,
and turning on texinfo input format.) (./version.texi)
WARNING: for users of Unix TeX 3.0!
This manual trips a bug in TeX version 3.0 (tex hangs).
If you are running another version of TeX, relax.
If you are running Unix TeX 3.0, kill this TeX process.
Then upgrade your TeX installation if you can.
(See ftp://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/TeX.README.)
If you are stuck with version 3.0, run the
script ``tex3patch'' from the Texinfo distribution
to use a workaround.
