treecc @0.3.10: error: treecc.texi:29: misplaced {

[chavrill]

treecc fails to build with current makeinfo versions due to ancient texi in treecc.texi.

deactivating texinfo lets the old makeinfo on some systems build it.

Otherwise the treecc.texi file could be fixed, or that part of the docs could be disabled from building.

treecc is old, and hasn't been updated in 10 years. Upstream looks dormant AFAICT.

The newer makeinfo installed by the texinfo port is barfing on the old texi file in treecc (which is ancient software).

If you just deactivate texinfo you can build it on snowleopard, which I see you are running:

sudo port deactivate texinfo

$ port -v installed treecc
The following ports are currently installed:
  treecc @0.3.10_1 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64' date='2018-12-05T12:26:23-0800'

treecc hasn't been updated since ice was delivered by truck. I just don't have the enthusiasm to fix the texi file.
