xemacs-21.4.22_9 build fails with texinfo 5.2

Reported by: barrettsa@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…

Component: ports Version: 2.2.1
Keywords: Cc: cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)
Port: xemacs

Description

The build of xemacs-21.4.22_9 fails when version 5.2 of the texinfo port is also installed. The newer version of makeinfo takes exception to some of the .texi files. A patch for the offending texi files can be found at: http://tracker.xemacs.org/XEmacs/its/issue859.

The default version of makeinfo (in /usr/bin) on OS X 10.9 is 4.8. When texinfo 5.2 is installed, the version of makeinfo (in /opt/local/bin) is 5.2.

Snippets from the log:

:info:build info.texi:480: node `Help-Adv' lacks menu item for `Help-Cross' despite being its Up target
:info:build make[1]: *** [../info/info.info] Error 1
:info:build custom.texi:63: raising the section level of @section which is too low
:info:build make[1]: *** [../info/custom.info] Error 1
