problems building a package for Arch Linux

[Benedict W. <ben...@gm...>]

Initially the problem I had was this error whilst compiling which appears
to be a texinfo problem:

./sdh.exe -ot -c -n Index cindex.idx cindex.tdx -n "Index of key commands"
kindex.idx kindex.tdx -I . -I . -N -i editor
./set.txi:97: warning: redefining Texinfo language command: @exclamdown

Failed executing:
makeinfo  -I . -I . --no-split --fill-column 75 --no-validate -o editor.inf
editor.nut
make[1]: *** [editor.txt] Error 5

I found the error in a file called doc/set.txi at line 190. Commenting it
out allowed the documents to be made.

I then got the following error:

It seems that pcre_info was deprecated 12 years ago and has been removed
from the latest version of pcre. I tried to replace it with pcre_fullinfo
but could not get a make to work either. (I was hoping to fix it and send a
patch.)

Kind regards
