My experiences building GNATS 4.10

[Tim Buck]

I got an error building GNATS 4.10:

  Creating gnats-databases...
  make: don't know how to make gnats-pwconv.o. Stop
  *** Error code 2

  Stop in /usr/projects/tim/gnats-4.1.0.

This is on FreeBSD-4.9 using gcc-2.95.4. I edited gnats/Makefile
and appended "gnats-pwconv.c" to the SOURCES line, which got me
past this error. Then I got this one:

  make: don't know how to make send-pr. Stop
  *** Error code 2

I can get past this one by going into the send-pr directory and
doing a "make" there. Next I get this error:

-I . -o gnats.info
-I:No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/projects/tim/gnats-4.1.0.

I manually ran "makeinfo -I . -o gnats.info gnats.texi" from the
doc directory to get around this.
