there is no subdir makefile.
newlib/Makefile:
TEXI2DVI = ...common setting...
include libc/local.mk
include libm/local.mk
libc/local.mk:
info_TEXINFOS += %D%/l
ACLOCAL=aclocal make check
I guess our internal make check initialization should unset ACLOCAL if
it's set? Maybe with a warning, since it might be expected. Is
something more needed? --thanks, karl.
Sorry, I still disagree with "deprecating" AM_WITH_DMALLOC (or anything
else). My wish would be to add some strong wording in the manual about
how it doesn't do anything especially useful, new code shouldn't use it,
etc., and let it go at that.
I don't argue that AM_WITH_DMALLOC is useful. But si
TEXI2DVI = texi2dvi -I libc -I libm
Couldn't it be set in each directory individually?
But anyway, agreed it is not the best approach, so never mind.
TEXI2DVI = texi2dvi -e
Just for the record: -E, not -e.
* provide AM_TEXI2FLAGS to apply to both texi2dvi & texi2pdf calls
Good idea
