texi issues in /doc/misc when processing with po4a

texi issues in /doc/misc when processing with po4a

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

I'm trying use po4a to build po files from the various doc directories but in doc/misc a number of files seem to resist the process:

ada-mode.texi
	ada-mode.texi:543: (po4a::tex)
	un-balanced [ in ''
When adding the missing ] the po is properly created

gnus.texi
	Can't exec "kpsewhich": No such file or directory at /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.24/Locale/Po4a/TeX.pm line 958, <$in> line 35.
Here it looks like a path issue, but since I'm trying that on my Mac, I have no way to know if it's a general issue or just an issue on my machine.

idlwave.texi
	idlwave.texi:370: (po4a::tex) unmatched end of environment 'html'
	(+ other similar issues)
That's weird because the environment is properly defined

info.texi
	info.texi:1245: (po4a::tex) unmatched end of environment '@vtable'
Same here, the environments seem to be properly defined

mh-e.texi
	mh-e.texi:80: (po4a::tex) unmatched end of environment 'html'
	(+ a dozen similar issues)
Same here, the environments seem to be properly defined

octave-mode.texi
	octave-mode.texi:170: (po4a::tex) unmatched end of environment 'vtable'
	(2 issues total)
Same here, the environments seem to be properly defined

The command I use is:
po4a-gettextize -f texinfo -M utf8 -m filename.texi -p filename.texi.fr.po

I guess most are issues with the way po4a processes texi but I'd expect such files to be properly processed...

Can anybody confirm if the issues can be reproduced on a "proper" gnu system?

I fixed this in the repository.

No, it's not a path issue: the file gnusconfig.tex is missing.  Lars,
how is that produced?

These all seem to be bugs in po4a, as the Texinfo sources are correct.

Thanks.

P.S.  In the future please tell what version of Emacs did you get the
files from.  It helps to identify the problems and fix them.

Apologies. I was trying to get the last version of the docs, so that was the git repository.

It's inside the @iflatex form, which isn't built in the Emacs
distribution; it was only in the Gnus distribution, which included lots
of images and stuff.

Since there isn't any Gnus distribution any more, that stuff should
probably be removed.
