Clearly I'm misunderstanding the process.
InfoDocs is meant for installing the (texinfo, not fink) .info files only. These get build by makeinfo from the .texi source files. Normally, for any given package, their build system should do that automatically. If for this package, the upstream maintainers didn't do that, you'll just have to call makeinfo manually from your compilescript. >Any help? > >When I've got this all worked out, I'll submit the .info and .patch >files for inclusion in fink, as I think this project (libbow) hasn't >yet been ported and it took a lot of non-trivial work.
