Hmmm. Am I missing something obvious? Because the 'man' target fails in generating the Info files (assume none previously existed) with makeinfo, but the error is ignored, so the build would go on to the 'install-man' target which would try to copy the Info files to where they should be installed and, thus, fail. -- David Masterson David DOT Masterson AT synopsys DOT com Sr. R&D Engineer Synopsys, Inc.
