Here’s the info on makeinfo:

The build finishes without errors, since it is only a warning. But I will try 
with touching the files, just out of curiosity.

 So I tried to build it.
 
 Unfortunately, there seems to be some error messages when trying to make 
 the “doc” directory:

That release is 15 years old. I'm not entirely sure that trying to
accommodate such old versions is something that a lot of time should be
spent on?

Re: Errors building 1199 on Mac OS 10.14.6

2019-11-07 Thread Dr . Jürgen Sauermann 

  
  
Hi,
  
  the main problem is that without UTF-8, APL characters cannot be
  displayed.
  I suppose it is quite a challenge to write an APL manual without
  APL characters :-).
  
  Since the build does not fail anymore, I will leave matters as
  they are.
  
  Best Regards,
  Jürgen

 Hi Louis,
  
  thanks. This seems to occur on some platforms
  (especially Apple) and
  for some makeinfo versions. Lots of
  messages about this on the web,
  but little of it can be done inside GNU APL.
  
  
  Could you please check with:
  
  makeinfo
  --version
  
  ? And does the build succeed or stop with an
  error?
  
  If the build succeeds then the warning can simply
  be ignored, otherwise I could
  fix the Makefile.am so that the build continues
  despite of the error.
  
  Normally the makeinfo is not needed
  because the output files are also in SVN.
  Therefore
  
  touch
  apl.html apl.info
  in directory doc 
  
  before make should fix this issue.

  Jürgen
