So it's not like it succeeds the second time, it always fails for you. It's just that the --force switch forces it to build the Info manual regardless of the error. > > Finally, do you perhaps have MAKEINFO set in the environment? > > My makeinfo is in > > C:\Programme\Gnuwin32\bin\makeinfo.EXE > > and the _directory_ is in the path if it's that what you mean. The > executable is not. No, I meant to ask if there's an environment variable named MAKEINFO set on your machine. What does "set MAKEINFO" display if you type it from cmd and hit Enter? Also, do you see the same error message if you touch faq.texi and then run "make info"?
