Howdy:
I found two installation bugs while trying to install the regex-0.10
info pages. From the makefile:
======================================================================
install: regex.info
-mkdir $(prefix) $(infodir)
for i in *.info; do $(INSTALL_DATA) $$i $(infodir)/$$i; done
regex.info: regex.texinfo
$(MAKEINFO) $<
regex.texinfo: xregex.texinfo regex.h
rm -f $@
gawk -f include.awk -vsource=regex.h <$< | expand >$@
add-version $(version) regex.texinfo
add-date regex.texinfo
chmod a-w $@
======================================================================
Unfortunately:
1. The programs (scripts?) add-version and add-date were not
included with the distribution (are they distributed with
something else?). They are probably supposed to replace
the strings "REPLACE-WITH-VERSION" and "REPLACE-WITH-DAY-MONTH-YEAR"
with the appropriate values.
2. The info files "regex.info-{1,2}" do not get installed. The
for loop should be "for i in *.info*" instead of "for i in
*.info".
