System: FreeBSD cnr.cs.columbia.edu 5.4-RELEASE-p22 FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p22 #17: Mon Oct 16 12:06:59 EDT 2006 lennox@cnr.cs.columbia.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CNR i386
>Description:
The texinfo documentation of automake version 1.10 uses the command @headitem,
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/gnu-automake 1.10 fails on those machines.
>How-To-Repeat:
On a FreeBSD 5.x machine:
cvsup your ports directory
cd /usr/ports/devel/gnu-automake
make
The make will fail with:
Making all in doc
Updating ./version.texi
restore=: && backupdir=".am$$" && am__cwd=`pwd` && cd . && rm -rf $backupdir && mkdir $backupdir && if (makeinfo --no-split --version) >/dev/null 2>&1; then for f in ./automake.info ./automake.info-[0-9] ./automake.info-[0-9][0-9] ./automake.i[0-9] ./automake.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 makeinfo --no-split -I . -o ./automake.info ./automake.texi; then rc=0; cd .; else rc=$?; cd . && $restore $backupdir/* `echo "././automake.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; fi; rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc
./automake.texi:645: Unknown command `headitem'.
makeinfo: Removing output file `./automake.info' due to errors; use --force to preserve.

*** Error code 1

>Fix:
Make the port use the print/texinfo version of makeinfo on FreeBSD versions before 6.0.
