Hello. I'm documentation manager for Cygwin (cygwin.com), a UNIX environment, developed by Red Hat, for Windows. It consists of a lot of ported software, including GNU tools.
I'm working on using compressed info files system-wide. Cygwin uses /usr/info/ to store info files, and size can be an issue. From the documentation I thought that simply compressing the files would work. However, it does not; I get "Unable to find node referenced by `Gzip' in `(dir)Top'." For example, a session attempting to compress gzip.info: [18:50:18]info$ grep -A2 START gzip.info START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY * Gzip: (gzip). The gzip command for compressing files. END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY $ info gzip # this works fine $ gzip gzip.info $ zgrep -A2 START gzip.info.gz START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY * Gzip: (gzip). The gzip command for compressing files. END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY $ info gzip # Fails with "Unable to find node referenced by `Gzip' in `(dir)Top'." $ install-info.exe --delete gzip /usr/info/dir $ grep gzip dir # no output, as expected $ gzip.exe gzip.info $ install-info gzip.info.gz /usr/info/dir $ grep gzip dir * Gzip: (gzip). The gzip command for compressing files. $ info gzip # Same error as before $ info -f gzip.info.gz info: gzip.info.gz: Invalid argument We are using texinfo 4.2, but I got an compiled the latest (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.2.tar.gz) just in case. It exhibits the same behaviour: $ ./ginfo.exe -f /usr/info/gzip.info.gz info: /usr/info/gzip.info.gz: Invalid argument Is there something obvious I'm missing here?
