>Description:
The texinfo documentation of m4 version 1.4.8 uses trailing @ for
continuation lines, a texinfo feature introduced in texinfo version 4.7.
/usr/src/contrib in FreeBSD 5 contains (a stripped-down version of) texinfo
4.6, and so the build of devel/m4 1.4.8 fails on those machines.
>How-To-Repeat:
On a FreeSBD 5.x machine:
cvsup your ports directory
cd /usr/ports/devel/m4
make
The make will fail with:
restore=: && backupdir=".am$$" && am__cwd=`pwd` && cd . && rm -rf $backupdir && mkdir $backupdir && if (/bin/sh /usr/ports/devel/m4/work/m4-1.4.8/missing --run makeinfo --no-split --version) >/dev/null 2>&1; then for f in ./m4.info ./m4.info-[0-9] ./m4.info-[0-9][0-9] ./m4.i[0-9] ./m4.i[0-9][0-9]; do if test -f $f; then mv $f $backupdir; restore=mv; else :; fi; done; else :; fi && cd "$am__cwd"; if /bin/sh /usr/ports/devel/m4/work/m4-1.4.8/missing --run makeinfo --no-split -I . -o ./m4.info ./m4.texinfo; then rc=0; cd .; else rc=$?; cd . && $restore $backupdir/* `echo "././m4.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; fi; rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc
./m4.texinfo:451: Unknown command `'.
./m4.texinfo:1999: Unknown command `'.
./m4.texinfo:2001: Unknown command `'.
makeinfo: Removing output file `./m4.info' due to errors; use --force to preserve.

>Fix:
Patching the texinfo source to remove the continuation lines fixes the problem:
