Bug 6410 – fdutils ebuild depends on tex.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED FIXED

[Description Chris Paulson-Ellis 2002-08-13 08:32:39 UTC]

The fdutils ebuild (5.4.20020222) seems to require tex to be present to build 
the docs. My version of texinfo is 4.2-r5...

make -C doc all
make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/fdutils-5.4.20020222/work/fdutils-
5.4/doc'
makeinfo -I . ./fdutils.texi
gcc -march=i686 -O3 -pipe    texi-linearize.c   -o texi-linearize
./texi-linearize . fdutils.texi > Fdutils.texi
texi2dvi Fdutils.texi
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: tex: command not found
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: tex exited with bad status, quitting.
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: see Fdutils.log for errors.

texi2dvi line 387 specifically says that texinfo files need tex.  I'm going to
contact the texinfo maintainer to get tetex added as a dependency.

Fixed by adding dependency; adding teTeX to texinfo caused too many problems.

I can verify that this fix worked.

Thanks,
Chris.
