Re: [Ltib] gdb build problem

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Chris,

I just tried a build, and although I didn't get the same error, it
failed saying:

"
    `if test -f ../.././bfd/../texinfo/util/texi2dvi; then echo
../.././bfd/../texinfo/util/texi2dvi; else echo texi2dvi; fi` --pdf
--batch -o bfd.pdf `test -f 'bfd.texinfo' || echo
'../.././bfd/doc/'`bfd.texinfo
You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in
your PATH, and texi2dvi cannot proceed without one.  If you want to use
this script, you'll need to install TeX (if you don't have it) or change
your PATH or TEX environment variable (if you do).  See the --help
output for more details.
"
running texi2dvi at the command line told me I needed to install
texlive.  However when I started to run apt-get install texlive, it said
it wanted to install another 320 MB of junk, so I declined.

Unfortunately my current work situation mean I have very little time to
spend on LTIB at the moment (now just a labour of love).  However, as
soon as I get time, I'll look into fixing the .spec file properly so
that it is possible to not build the documentation, which to be honest
is better read online.

Regards, Stuart
