With texinfo-5.1, xemacs-21.4.22-r2 fails to build custom.info: cd /var/tmp/portage/app-editors/xemacs-21.4.22-r2/work/xemacs-21.4.22/man && make info make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-editors/xemacs-21.4.22-r2/work/xemacs-21.4.22/man' makeinfo -o ../info/cl.info cl.texi makeinfo -o ../info/custom.info custom.texi custom.texi:63: raising the section level of @section which is too low make[1]: *** [../info/custom.info] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-editors/xemacs-21.4.22-r2/work/xemacs-21.4.22/man' make: *** [info] Error 2 Already reported upstream, see URL.
Thanks for the report. A patch for 21.5 has been pushed upstream so the problem is known. I have raised the question upstream if 21.4 will get a patch in the same way as 21.5 and for more details what needs to be changed to be compatible with texinfo 5.x.
Any news on this? texinfo-5.1 could be needed in stable soon :/ Thanks
Created attachment 386808 [details, diff] Patch for xemacs-21.4.22-r3 Attached patch fixes the build failure in xemacs-21.4.22-r3 for me. I've tested with both texinfo-5.1 and -5.2. Basically, this is a backport of the upstream patch for 21.5: https://bitbucket.org/xemacs/xemacs/commits/d11efddf3617c0c74b8e0a029803f248c7630a61 with one additional change needed for 21.4.
Thanks for the patch and for testning. I'm out travelling and will attend to this in a few days.
