Hello, I think I have found a bug with texi2dvi. It seems to manifest only when using -o to write the dvi to a subdirectory and when the .texi file has a sectioning command like @top. texi2dvi emits an identical copy of the dvi file in the current working directory.
I found a similar-sounding report from 2007: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03174.html (indeed, I found the problem in the same way: my `make distcheck ' failed because of extra .dvi files left about.) Minimal example to reproduce this bug: doc/foo.texi 8<--- \input texinfo @c -*- texinfo -*- @c %**start of header @setfilename foo.info @settitle foo @c %**end of header @node Top @top Top @bye --->8 Running texi2dvi -o doc/foo.dvi doc/foo.texi causes a copy of foo.dvi to be left in the current directory. If you want a minimal autotools example add: configure.ac: 8<--- AC_INIT([ambug],[0],[/dev/null]) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign]) AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile]) AC_OUTPUT --->8 Makefile.am: 8<--- info_TEXINFOS = doc/foo.texi --->8 Run `autoreconf -i', then `make distcheck' and it will fail. Is there any other useful information I can provide? -- Jack
