Re: Ship large amounts of image files?

[Ben Pfaff]

Looking at try_docbook_image, it only tries looking in one
location, the current directory.  If you are using separate build
and source directories, perhaps the .png files aren't actually in
the current directory when the makeinfo call occurs?  Or maybe
the doc/ prefix is missing?  I guess "strace" would help.

(I haven't tried this myself.)
