I tried to build the docs on Win 98 box with TeX from simtel and I got some warnings and it failed to make the docs. I even went back to 2.11 and tried to build the docs and couldn't. I wonder if this is because the docs were built on a Unix box. Could soemone else please try to build the Which 2.11 docs (html and PS docs, not info) and let me know how you went. I have never tried to do this so it may be a setup issue at my end. To produce the HTML docs, type "makeinfo --html -o which.html which.texinfo". The output from this was the same for both Win 98 and Win XP:- DJGPP_204 D:\dj204\gnu\which-2.11\which211>makeinfo --html -o which.html which.texinfo which.texinfo:78: warning: @menu seen before first @node, creating `Top' node. which.texinfo:78: warning: perhaps your @top node should be wrapped in @ifnottex rather than @ifinfo?. ./which.texinfo:78: Next field of node `Top' not pointed to. ./which.texinfo:120: This node (Option Summary) has the bad Prev. makeinfo: Removing output file `which.html' due to errors; use --force to preserve. To produce the DVI file, type "make which.dvi". The output from Win 98 is: DJGPP_204 C:\dj204\gnu\which211>make which.dvi TEXINPUTS=.:$TEXINPUTS \ MAKEINFO='makeinfo -I .' texi2dvi which.texinfo c:/dj204/bin/texi2dvi: Could not read $Revision:. c:/dj204/bin/texi2dvi: Could not read 1.10. c:/dj204/bin/texi2dvi: Could not read $. To produce the PostScript version, say "make which.ps". The output from Win 98 failed as expected bacise there was no dvi file from the previous step. The ouitput was: DJGPP_204 C:\dj204\gnu\which211>make which.ps TEXINPUTS=.:$TEXINPUTS \ MAKEINFO='makeinfo -I .' texi2dvi which.texinfo c:/dj204/bin/texi2dvi: Could not read $Revision:. c:/dj204/bin/texi2dvi: Could not read 1.10. c:/dj204/bin/texi2dvi: Could not read $. dvips which.dvi -o which.ps dvipsk 5.66a Copyright 1986-97 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) C:\DJ204\BIN/dvips.exe: ! DVI file `which.dvi' can't be opened. make.exe: *** [which.ps] Error 1 I have added Tex to the list issues to be checked out. Before I start to buiild TeX I would like to see if somone else can get it to work with the Which 2.11 package from Simtel.
