[Sbcl-help] possible solution to texinfo problem

[Dan S. <dv...@ea...>]

Hey guys,

I bugged you recently about not being able to build the into pages for 
sbcl-0.9.2.  The problem, in fact, recurs with 9.3 and 9.4.  I got this 
...

cd tests && sh run-tests.sh

...

fflush error on stdout
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: line 599: tex: command not found
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: tex exited with bad status, quitting.
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: see sbcl.log for errors.
make: *** [sbcl.dvi] Error 1

I wrote you about this and you responded that texinfo was not installed 
on my machine and how to build making html pages only.

I got the latest texinfo, and in installing it I found bits and pieces 
of an earlier texinfo, and perhaps had had all of it before anyhow.

Instead of entering this:  cd doc/manual && make ...

I entered these: cd doc/manual
                              make info

and it completed like this:

; compilation unit finished
;   caught 2 STYLE-WARNING conditions
; loading system definition from
; /Users/dan/downloads/sbcl-0.9.4/contrib/systems/sb-rotate-byte.asd 
into
; #<PACKAGE "ASDF4001">
; registering #<SYSTEM SB-ROTATE-BYTE {40A400D1}> as SB-ROTATE-BYTE
/creating package-locks.texi-temp
makeinfo -I "docstrings/" -I ../../contrib/ sbcl.texinfo
makeinfo -I "docstrings/" -I ../../contrib/ asdf.texinfo

I am not a Unix expert, but I think there is some kind of shell trouble 
encountered with &&

Please advise.
