Hi, I'm just beggining to use texinfo with my project (cgdb.sf.net). I was trying to generate the info/html/pdf version of the documentation. The automake version I had installed on my debian box was automake (GNU automake) 1.7.9
My Makefile.am looks like: info_TEXINFOS = cgdb.texinfo cgdb_TEXINFOS = gpl.texi fdl.texi It generated these rules in the Makefile.in cgdb.info: cgdb.texinfo version.texi $(cgdb_TEXINFOS) cgdb.dvi: cgdb.texinfo version.texi $(cgdb_TEXINFOS) cgdb.pdf: cgdb.texinfo version.texi $(cgdb_TEXINFOS) version.texi: @MAINTAINER_MODE_TRUE@ stamp-vti I was missing the html rule, but noticed that bison had it. So, I switched to the same version that bison was using, which I think is the latest version. automake (GNU automake) 1.9.6 With this version, my Makefile.in has these rules, $(srcdir)/cgdb.info: cgdb.texinfo $(srcdir)/version.texi $(cgdb_TEXINFOS) cgdb.dvi: cgdb.texinfo $(srcdir)/version.texi $(cgdb_TEXINFOS) cgdb.pdf: cgdb.texinfo $(srcdir)/version.texi $(cgdb_TEXINFOS) cgdb.html: cgdb.texinfo $(srcdir)/version.texi $(cgdb_TEXINFOS) $(srcdir)/version.texi: @MAINTAINER_MODE_TRUE@ $(srcdir)/stamp-vti So, it added the html rule that I wanted. Thanks by the way! However, it also started to build the info file into the source tree, instead of where the rest of the documentation goes. I don't understand this at all. Why would I want some of my documentation to go into different places? Also, I'm kind of assuming that some people have read-only source trees. This would most likely break the build on there system. I'd prefer to have all the documentation get built into the build tree. Does anyone know how to accomplish this with the newer automake? Why was the policy changed? or why should I prefer the way it works now? Thanks for such a great program! Thanks, Bob Rossi
