Hi! Currently it is not possible to bootstrap gcc with texinfo 5.0. This patch attempts to fix the errors that prevent bootstrap, there are tons of warnings this doesn't address and would be good if somebody more TeXinfo knowledgeable looked at it.
Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux both with texinfo 5.0 and older texinfo installed. The errors were: ../../gcc/doc/invoke.texi:5615: @itemx must follow @item ../../gcc/ada/gnat-style.texi:45: unknown command `hfill' doc/projects.texi:51: @pxref reference to nonexistent node `Scenarios in Projects' doc/projects.texi:363: @pxref reference to nonexistent node `Organizing Projects into Subsystems' doc/projects.texi:391: @xref reference to nonexistent node `Project Extension' ../../../../../libjava/classpath/doc/cp-tools.texinfo:2030: `@end' expected `smallexample', but saw `table' ../../../../../libjava/classpath/doc/cp-tools.texinfo:2030: `@end' expected `smallexample', but saw `table' ../../../../../libjava/classpath/doc/cp-tools.texinfo:2030: `@end' expected `smallexample', but saw `table' Examples of warnings (many of them occuring many up to several dozens of times): warning: @anchor should not appear in @heading warning: @title missing argument warning: @itemize has text but no @item warning: node `XXX' is next for `YYY' in menu but not in sectioning warning: node `XXX' is up for `YYY' in menu but not in sectioning warning: @itemize has text but no @item warning: node next `XXX' in menu `YYY' and in sectioning `ZZZ' differ warning: @tex should only appear at a line beginning warning: command @tie does not accept arguments Ok for trunk? 2013-02-21 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR bootstrap/56258 * doc/invoke.texi (-fdump-rtl-pro_and_epilogue): Use @item instead of @itemx. * gnat-style.texi (@title): Remove @hfill. * projects.texi: Avoid line wrapping inside of @pxref or @xref. * doc/cp-tools.texinfo (Virtual Machine Options): Use just one @gccoptlist instead of 3 separate ones. --- gcc/doc/invoke.texi.jj 2013-01-31 22:57:22.000000000 +0100 +++ gcc/doc/invoke.texi 2013-02-20 13:06:47.516405739 +0100 @@ -5612,7 +5612,7 @@ Dump after the peephole pass. @opindex fdump-rtl-postreload Dump after post-reload optimizations. -@itemx -fdump-rtl-pro_and_epilogue +@item -fdump-rtl-pro_and_epilogue @opindex fdump-rtl-pro_and_epilogue Dump after generating the function prologues and epilogues. --- gcc/ada/gnat-style.texi.jj 2012-08-10 12:57:33.000000000 +0200 +++ gcc/ada/gnat-style.texi 2013-02-20 13:06:03.042667300 +0100 @@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ Texts.
