Re: Can not compile Texinfo with MinGW+MSYS

[Karl Berry]

    mkdir - too many args

    makeinfo.c: In function `error':
    makeinfo.c:218: warning: passing arg 2 of `libintl_vfprintf' discards
    qualifiers from pointer target type

Thanks for the report.  But unfortunately, I know nothing about mingw,
so I can't guess what to do about these errors.  If you can send
patches, that would be great.

    build the docs you have to have makeinfo (at least I believe so).

No, the Emacs distribution comes with prebuilt Info files (in the info/
directory in the emacs tarball), precisely to avoid this kind of
frustrating interdependence.  You can also download them from the web.

(In theory this should be the case for all GNU distributions.)

HTH,
