If you +are getting the Texinfo sources from cvs, or change the Texinfo +configure.ac, you'll need to have these tools installed to (re)build. +You'll also need help2man. (All of these are available from +ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu.) + +Here's the order in which to run the tools for a fresh build: + + autoheader # creates config.in, not necessarily needed every time + aclocal -I m4 # for a new version of automake + automake + autoconf + configure CFLAGS=-g --enable-maintainer-mode + make + +(with arguments to taste, of course.) Or you can run + + ./bootstrap + +instead of the various auto* tools. + + +One final note: If you would like to contribute to the GNU project by +implementing additional documentation output formats for Texinfo, that +would be great. But please do not write a separate translator texi2foo +for your favorite format foo! That is the hard way to do the job, and +makes extra work in subsequent maintenance, since the Texinfo language +is continually being enhanced and updated. Instead, the best approach +is modify Makeinfo to generate the new format, as it does now for Info, +HTML, XML, and DocBook. -- cgit v1.1
