Texinfo 4.5, makeinfo --html: not using subdirs

[Richard Dawe]

Hello.

I think I've discovered a bug in makeinfo's HTML generation. It's certainly
not the behaviour I was expecting from reading the manual.

Say I have a file called test.texi with a couple of @nodes in a directory foo.
If I run "makeinfo --html", then it generates a subdirectory test/ containing
all the HTML files. E.g.:

foo/
    test.texi
    test/
         index.html
         ...

If I then rename foo to test, clean up all the HTML files and re-run makeinfo,
it puts all the HTML files in the directory - it doesn't create a subdirectory
at all. E.g.:

test/
     test.texi
     index.html
     ...

Here's the texinfo file I tested with:

---Start test.texi---
\input texinfo   @c -*-texinfo-*-

@setfilename test.texi

@node Top, Wibble, Wibble, (dir)
@top

@menu
* Wibble::
@end menu

@node Wibble, Top, Top, (dir)

@contents
@bye
---End test.texi---

I originally encountered this problem with a check-out of automake CVS on my
Windows box, which I had put in /develop/automake.
/develop/automake/automake.texi is the texinfo file in that case.

Regards,
