Hello, The CI at github for the mingw on cygwin leads to failing link of info with: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/13/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld: run-external.o: in function `get_output_from_program': /cygdrive/d/a/ci-check/ci-check/texinfo-7.2.20250729dev/build/info/../../info/run-external.c:119:(.text+0x1b9): undefined reference to `WEXITSTATUS'
configure does not find <sys/wait.h>. So, there may be a need for some portability for the case of missing <sys/wait.h> (and no definition of WEXITSTATUS). Maybe minor, and I may have missed something as I am a beginner here, but I read the man pages for WEXITSTATUS and pclose, and the code does not seem to follow my understanding of the documentation (maybe on purpose). * on line 111 exit_status = pclose (fpipe); Upon my reading of the pclose man page it seems to me that before considering exit_status as an exit status, it should be checked if not < 0, and if < 0 check errno / give an error message or keep errno somewhere. * on line 119 there is return WEXITSTATUS(exit_status); without checking first that WIFEXITED(exit_status) returned true, ie that there was a proper exiting Again I may be totally off. -- Pat
