Dear,
The steps:
./bootstrap
./configure --localstatedir=/var/
make info
leads to the error:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Making info in po/guix
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/simon/src/guix/wk/redoc/po/guix'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'info'.

because the 3 .texi files have to be generated first; with another
rule. It seems expected that ‘make info’ builds the manual.
Furthermore, ‘make distclean’ does not remove these files.
Well, I have tried to give a look to the configuration files of ‘make’
but it is a bit obscure to me.
This behaviour, is it expected? Or do I miss a ’make’ rule?
All the best,
simon

Yeah, it’s complicated; concretely, you have to run ‘make’.

It’s on purpose: those files are part of the distribution (they’re in
the tarball ‘make dist’ creates).
The reason seems to be that:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# Bundle this file so that makeinfo finds it in out-of-source-tree builds.
BUILT_SOURCES += $(OS_CONFIG_EXAMPLES_TEXI) $(TRANSLATED_INFO)
EXTRA_DIST += $(OS_CONFIG_EXAMPLES_TEXI) $(TRANSLATED_INFO)
MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = $(OS_CONFIG_EXAMPLES_TEXI) $(TRANSLATED_INFO)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Well, I am doing for such case: make RET C-c C-c C-c Because the files
are generated at the very beginning.

Hum? Ok.

Yah, I have tried to tweak a lot of stuff and it has always failed.
Simon's relationship with configure and Makefile.am: is complicated.
:-)
Well, since these files are only a hard copy of files in
gnu/system/examples/, does it make sense to simply symlink them and
remove the rule?
Cheers,
simon

You can try, but the comment above about out-of-source-tree builds
suggests it won’t work. :-)
(That’s because .info is treated specially; namely, Info files are part
of the distribution, so they are always built in the source tree.)

Symbolic links do not work. :-)
Hard links fix my problem, but I am not sure that what we want.

One easy fix is to add a copy in ‘./bootstrap’. Yes, it is
unsatisfactory because a modification of
gnu/system/examples/<whatever>.tmpl will not regenerate the correct file
in doc/; note it is already the case now –if I understand correctly.
Cheers,
simon
