Hello, Currently i have docbook2X not working on my system (a perl problem that i don't know how to repair, but in a few months i will reinstall completely this C:\Cygwin64 which dates back to 2019).
This means that /usr/share/docbook2X and /usr/bin/docbook2x-texi are missing. Consequently, no *.info* file is produced. Nevertheless, i tried to compile cygwin from sources (newlib-cygwin-3.3.6.tar.bz2), knowing that "Normally, building ignores any errors in building the documentation" (see https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin) However, in order to 'make' and then 'make install' properly, i had to apply the following easy patch (below). Hope this helps, Regards, Denis Excoffier. diff -uNr o/newlib-cygwin/winsup/doc/Makefile.am p/newlib-cygwin/winsup/doc/Makefile.am --- o/newlib-cygwin/winsup/doc/Makefile.am 2022-09-05 13:09:51.000000000 +0200 +++ p/newlib-cygwin/winsup/doc/Makefile.am 2022-10-19 14:00:03.052557100 +0200 @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ install-info-local: cygwin-ug-net.info cygwin-api.info @$(MKDIR_P) $(DESTDIR)$(infodir) - $(INSTALL_DATA) *.info* $(DESTDIR)$(infodir) + -$(INSTALL_DATA) *.info* $(DESTDIR)$(infodir) install-etc: @$(MKDIR_P) $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/postinstall @@ -141,7 +141,7 @@ # this generates a custom charmap for docbook2x-texi which has a mapping for ® charmap: - cp /usr/share/docbook2X/charmaps/texi.charmap charmap + -cp /usr/share/docbook2X/charmaps/texi.charmap charmap echo "ae (R)" >>charmap intro2man.stamp: intro.xml man.xsl -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
