Agreed; this is what I meant, implicitly. Sorry if it wasn't clear. As an aside, will info 4.8 be required to to read the info files generated by makeinfo 4.8? I currently use info 4.3, as supplied with MSYS, in conjunction with makeinfo 4.6 from GnuWin32, without problem -- I had problems with with the GnuWin32 info 4.6, which, alas, I neglected to report on the appropriate mailing list, until now. >> I guess the interim work around, until Kees ports texinfo 4.8, will >> be to build first on my Linux box, and copy the generated info files >> to my Win32 build host, before invoking 'make'; for me, this will be >> a minor inconvenience, but it won't help users who don't have access >> to a Linux box. > > I've uploaded groff.info.tar.bz2 and the current groff.pdf to > > groff.ffii.org/groff/devel Thanks Werner. This should at least give MS-Windows users, who build from CVS, a source for the prebuilt info files, which they can use until a working texinfo 4.8 becomes available.
