Re: [OctDev] munge-texi problem with static library build

[Rob Frohne]

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the help.  I followed your advice and replaced the _'s with 
\_'s, and here is what I got with tex:

address@hidden:~/Desktop/octave-3.4.0$ cd doc/interpreter/
address@hidden:~/Desktop/octave-3.4.0/doc/interpreter$ ./munge-texi 
../.. ../../scripts/DOCSTRINGS ../../src/DOCSTRINGS < arith.txi > 
arith.texi-t
invalid doc file format
address@hidden:~/Desktop/octave-3.4.0/doc/interpreter$ tex arith.txi

Unfortunately, with make I still get the same error:

make[4]: `munge-texi' is up to date.
make[4]: Leaving directory 
`/home/frohro/Desktop/octave-3.4.0/doc/interpreter'
./munge-texi ../.. ../../scripts/DOCSTRINGS ../../src/DOCSTRINGS <

Thanks again for the help Dan!
