Nice to know that I'm not the only one to have problems with this. I found the culprit non-patch that led to this change in the Makefile: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/8247 I can't see how the current version of the install-info Makefile rule can possibly work. From reading the man page it seems that the install-info command, which shouldn't be confused with the Makefile rule, does not actually install the info file. It just updates the dir file in the info directory (which is not even necessary [1]). If you do want to use it, then you have to copy the info file first, as Dan already pointed out. So, I suggest that the Makefile rule might better be something like this: install-info: $(INFOFILES) if [ ! -d $(infodir) ]; then $(MKDIR) $(infodir); else true; fi ; $(CP) $(INFOFILES) $(infodir) for f in $(INFOFILES); do $(INSTALL_INFO) $(infodir)/`basename $f` $(infodir)/dir; done I am not convinced of the cross-platform wisdom of having the shell "for" loop and backtick substitution in there, but I don't know how to do that with pure make syntax. Currently, INFOFILES points to only one file, but the plural name suggests that there may be more someday.... Cheers Will [1] In my emacs (Aquamacs 1.5, emacs 22.2.50.2), a "dir" file is auto-generated on the fly from all the info files in directories in Info-directory-list. -- Dr William Henney, Centro de Radioastronomía y Astrofísica, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Campus Morelia _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
