References in elisp.dvi.

References in elisp.dvi.

[Lute Kamstra]

For me, the page references in the Lisp Reference manual (elisp.dvi)
are incorrect.  Typically they are off by a few pages, but higher page
numbers are off more.  A few examples:

Page nr. mentioned     Actual page nr.
in reference.          of the section

  9                      9
 19                     19
 25                     25
 33                     32
 37                     35
 58                     56
 87                     85
150                    144
572                    566
735                    729
787                    781

Does anyone else see this?

  Lute.

Sounds like someone needs to do another TeX run to resolve the references.

*Something* needs to run TeX another time.  I produce elisp.dvi by
doing "make elisp.dvi" in the lispref dir.  This should run TeX enough
times for the references to be calculated correctly (like texi2dvi
does), but it does not.  When I do another TeX run manually,
references are correct.

Oh, I didn't realize it was an automatic process.  (I thought you
were looking at a preproduced dvi, as has been announced here once in
a while, though not lately.)

I guess another tex run should be added to the makefile, or switch it
to texi2dvi.  It doesn't look like it's trying hard right now to get
the refs right.

Perhaps lispref/Makefile.in should be modified to use texi2dvi instead
of the good-ole way of running TeX ``by hand''.  texi2dvi repeatedly
runs TeX until the results actually stop changing, so it will always
produce the correct references.

lispref is a bit more complicated because it has this permute-index thing.
But maybe this can be dropped, it's not enabled by default anyway.

It can be dropped, or we could run texi2dvi, then the permute-index
script and lastly, TeX.

In any case, I think the non-permuted_index branch of the elisp.dvi
target's commands should simply use texi2dvi.

sounds good to me.

Ok, I've remove that now and switched to texi2dvi.

What is happenning with lispref/index.texi?  Each time I update, it
appears, but running `make bootstrap'  deletes it before it is neeeded,
causing bootstrapping to fail.   End of make bootstrap output:

ake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/teirllm/emacscvsdir/emacs/leim'
(cd man; make  info)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/teirllm/emacscvsdir/emacs/man'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `info'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/teirllm/emacscvsdir/emacs/man'
(cd lispref; make  info)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/teirllm/emacscvsdir/emacs/lispref'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
`/home/teirllm/emacscvsdir/emacs/lispref/index.texi', needed by

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/teirllm/emacscvsdir/emacs/lispref'
make: *** [info] Error 2

index.texi is indeed gone.

lispref/Makefile.in contains:

clean:
rm -f *.toc *.aux *.log *.cp *.cps *.fn *.fns *.tp *.tps*.vr *.vrs *.pg *.pgs *.ky *.kys
rm -f make.out core
rm -f index.texi

Why that last line?  Should `make clean' really remove index.texi?
Even if so, certainly `make bootstrap' should not.

Sincerely,

Luc.

While on the subject of lispref/Makefile.in:

maintainer-clean: clean
		  rm -f elisp elisp-* elisp.dvi elisp.oaux

Is elisp.oaux really what is meant or should that be elisp.aux?

Sincerely,

Luc.

No, it should not.  I'll fix that in a minute.  Workaround is to build in
a separate directory.

Sorry for the breakage.

Apparently yes, since it is mentioned in the Change Log.  Sorry for
the false alarm on this one.

No, *.aux is already cleaned up.

    No, it should not.  I'll fix that in a minute.  Workaround is to build in
    a separate directory.

if the makefile creates index.texi, and it's not in the distro,
make clean shd delete it.

if index.texi is now precreated and in the tar ball,
then make ckean shd not delete it.

in make bootstrap, the second make shd create it again.
that's the way to avoid this error.

BTW, why does bootstrap do all those `clean' steps?  The few times I call
`bootstrap' I find those steps just waste my time by removing and rebuilding
files in the exact same way.  I'd rather call the bootstrap-clean-before
step manually when needed.  It's especially annoying when the bootstrap
fails partway because "fix && make boostrap" will start all over from
scratch each and every time.
