Hello,
My Automake 1.10 documentation states:
By default, Automake requires the file `texinfo.tex' to appear in the
same directory as the Texinfo source (this can be changed using the
`TEXINFO_TEX' variable, see below)
I wanted to try having one central Makefile.am, in accordance to
"Recursive Make considered harmful". However, when writing
info_TEXINFOS = doc/xyz.text
and running automake, I get the error "required file './texinfo.tex'
not found.
Command "automake --add-missing" should install texinfo.tex.
I consider this behaviour as contradiction to the above cited
documentation, since the texinfo.tex file is searched not in the
directory, where the texinfo source is, but where the Makefile.am is.
Yes , documentation is not correct. The paths for info files could be
relative to Makefile.am, as example:
info_TEXINFOS = doc1/foo1.texi doc2/foo2.texi
About TEXINFO_TEX :
It is not clear that TEXINFO_TEX take precedence over AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.
Also documentation don't inform us that automake don't install file
specified by variable TEXINFO_TEX if automake option --add-missing is used.
