As someone noted, I have posted this on the Maxima list. The only record I
can find with Google is this one, but you can see my question and Robert
Dodlier's answer.
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mathematics.maxima.general/33568
I'm not sure I understand what he is saying, but I think he is saying the
source tarball from Sourceforge should have the generated .info files.
That does in fact seem to be so, as using {{{find}}} will show.
{{{
drkirkby@hawk:~/sage-4.6.2.alpha4/spkg/standard$ find . -name '*.info'
./maxima-5.23.2/src/doc/info/pt_BR/maxima.info
./maxima-5.23.2/src/doc/info/pt/maxima.info
./maxima-5.23.2/src/doc/info/pt_BR.utf8/maxima.info
./maxima-5.23.2/src/doc/info/maxima.info
./maxima-5.23.2/src/doc/info/pt.utf8/maxima.info
./maxima-5.23.2/src/doc/info/es/maxima.info
./maxima-5.23.2/src/doc/info/es.utf8/maxima.info
./maxima-5.23.2/src/interfaces/xmaxima/doc/xmaxima.info
./maxima-5.23.2/src/interfaces/emacs/imaxima/imaxima.info
}}}
So it looks to me the generated files are present, so there should be no
need for them to be generated.
My Sun does have {{{makeinfo}}} present, but I've just renamed it to
something else, so the command does not exist. The Maxima build did then
fail:
{{{
make[3]: makeinfo: Command not found
make[3]: *** [maxima.info] Error 127
}}}
So I am in fact putting this back to "needs work"
