[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62648] build problem with texinfo>6.8

[Arun Giridhar]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #62648 (project octave):

I was already at the limit of my Perl, so I solved it as follows:

* I made two version of the Perl script, one for Texinfo 6 and one for Texinfo
7. They are named qthelp_Texinfo6.pl and qthelp_Texinfo7.pl, both attached.
These include the safer loops from gabriele.

* I deleted mk-qthelp.pl.

* I ran the following shell commands to make a symlink named mk-qthelp.pl to
the correct script:

TEXINFO_VERSION=`info --version | head -n 1 | awk '{print int($NF)}'`

ln -s qthelp_Texinfo$TEXINFO_VERSION.pl mk-qthelp.pl


Then everything builds properly.

Please verify and adapt as needed.
