[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46637] mxe-octave: update GNU Texinfo to version 6

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #46637 (project octave):

I misread your instructions and removed makeinfo.exe and makeinfo.bat.  That
made sense to me because the new makeinfo is a Perl script.  That failed
because Perl scripts aren't directly executable on Windows systems, are they? 
I was getting the message


>> __makeinfo__
'makeinfo' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
warning: print_usage: Texinfo formatting filter exited abnormally
warning: called from
    print_usage at line 73 column 5
    __makeinfo__ at line 64 column 5
warning: print_usage: raw Texinfo source of help text follows...
error: Invalid call to __makeinfo__.  Correct usage is:


Then I went back and did "make texinfo" to rebuild the texinfo package and (I
thought) recover the makeinfo.exe file, but it was not created.  So now I'm
wondering where makeinfo exe is coming from.  It's not mentioned in any of my
build log files.  I'll keep looking.
