According to the MikTex bug reports [1], MikTex 2.9 has removed texi2dvi.exe last week (on 2015-09-29) as "it was not compatible (anymore) with the original shell script texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo)." I found this out the hard way as I just (unknowingly) updated MikTex this evening, and then, while building R-devel_2015-10-08 on Windows7 64bit using the Rtools 3.3 toolchain (4.9.3 branch), had it crash during `make manuals` with:
Output written on fullrefman.pdf (3468 pages, 9511515 bytes). Transcript written on fullrefman.log. creating doc/manual/version.texi texi2dvi --pdf --texinfo="@set UseExternalXrefs " R-FAQ.texi texi2dvi: not found make[1]: *** [R-FAQ.pdf] Error 127 make: *** [manuals] Error 2 Outside of trying to dig up an old (and now obsolete) version of the executable, what can be, or should be, done to build the manuals, or have we lost that ability?
