I agree. Fixing the issue seems not trivial because it will require not breaking backward compatibility with older version of Texinfo. > I added a TEXI2DVI definition in my doc/Makefile.am, but I get the > following error when running autoreconf (or automake independently): > > automake: warnings are treated as errors > doc/Makefile.am:36: warning: user variable 'TEXI2DVI' defined here ... > /usr/share/automake-1.15/am/texinfos.am: ... overrides Automake > variable 'TEXI2DVI' defined here > autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 > > This is strange, because according to the Automake manual: "a variable > defined in ‘Makefile.am’ or ‘AC_SUBST’ed from ‘configure.ac’ will > override any definition of the variable that ‘automake’ would > ordinarily create." This is normally just a warning. It is treated as an error because you are using "-Werror" in automake options. To remove this error you can add "-Wno-override". Thanks. -- Mathieu Lirzin
