[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #32366] MinGW: doc build error

[Benjamin Lindner]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #32366 (project octave):

This is actually a bug in miktex, not octave

Miktex does not honour the TEXINPUTS environment variable, so it ends up
*not* picking up texinfo.tex from the octave sources, but rather to (too old)
one shipped with miktex. And because it's too old, it fails.

The workaround is to explicitly add the doc/ subdirectory from octave's
sources to miktex texi2dvi search path using the -I comandline argument by
adding at configure stage

TEXI2DVI="texi2dvi -I /path/to/octave/sources/doc" TEXI2PDF="texi2dvi --pdf
-I /path/to/octave/sources/doc"

make sure you are using texi2dvi from miktex and not the one from the msys
texinfo package!
