Hmm, well munge-texi is a C++ program: http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/919cadf334f8/doc/interpreter/munge-texi.cc I search for "invalid doc file format" and see that munge-texi strips the comments then looks for doc delimiter symbol. If no match, then the file isn't processed. Hence, empty log file. But what has me wondering is that static const char doc_delim = ' '; Without compiling or looking at K&R definition, I assume the delimiter symbol is a 0, i.e., '' is the same as '\0'. But I'm not following what this comparison is supposed to mean then: if (infile.get () != doc_delim) fatal ("invalid doc file format"); Looking for a null character? Anyway, the skip_comments routine of munge-texi.cc looks for '#' as comment lines, but clearly arith.txi does not have '#' as a comment line. So maybe that is where the process is failing. Or maybe there is something with DOCSTRINGS that is missing. Here are the inputs to munge-texi: top_srcdir = *++argv; while (*++argv) process_doc_file (*argv); process_texi_input_file (std::cin, std::cout); In your expression ../.. is the top_srcdir, then ../../scripts/DOCSTRINGS ../../src/DOCSTRINGS are "doc" files and then '< arith.txi' is the std_cin and '> arith.texi-t' is the std:cout. So what do your DOCSTRINGS files look like? Those don't appear in the repository so must be generated.
