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.
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?
Regards,
Elias

Hi Louis,
thanks. This seems to occur on some platforms (especially Apple) and
for some makeinfo versions. Lots of messages about this on

makeinfo --version
Tried it with 1200 this morning.
Much better, but i still get those 2 warnings:

Hi Louis,
seems like .texi syntax has changed (builds ok on my box).
I have removed a blank which might have been the culprit.
Please let me know if the problem persists. SVN 1200.
In the meantime you can simply touch the output tiles (apl.info
I tried running svn update this morning, and I saw this new version 1199. So I
tried to build it.
Unfortunately, there seems to be some error messages when trying to make the
“doc” directory:
