bug#66679: automake: error: undefined condition 'TRUE' for 'info_TEXINFO


From: Eric Gallager
Subject: bug#66679: automake: error: undefined condition 'TRUE' for 'info_TEXINFOS'
Date: Sun, 22 Oct 2023 08:54:05 -0400

In my attached `Makefile.am`, I have been trying to modify it so that
it only rebuilds the documentation when explicitly asked to.
Otherwise, the distributed copy should just get used instead. However,
my modifications have led to the following error:
doc/Makefile.am:23: warning: user target 'gaa.dvi' defined here ...
/opt/local/share/automake-1.16/am/texibuild.am: ... overrides Automake
target 'gaa.dvi' defined here
automake: error: undefined condition 'TRUE' for 'info_TEXINFOS'

The error message said to report it, so that's what I'm doing. Plus
that whole backtrace doesn't exactly look like your normal automake
error. Anyways, here's my version info:
