Hi folks

 

Seems I can’t get the coreutils.info to build:

 

Making all in doc

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/Floss/coreutils-8.12/doc'

  MAKEINFO coreutils.info

coreutils.texi:1032: Unknown command `/www.validlab.com/@/goldberg/@/paper.pdf)'.

makeinfo: Removing output file `coreutils.info' due to errors; use --force to preserve.

make[2]: *** [coreutils.info] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/Floss/coreutils-8.12/doc'

 

 

Could this due to makeinfo being too old?

 

$ makeinfo --version

makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.2

The following patch seems to fix this
