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

[Sam James]

Follow-up Comment #23, bug #62648 (project octave):

[comment #22 comment #22:]
> I have attached a patch which is slightly more attuned to the Perl way of
doing things.  Specifically, it is almost never necessary to directly check
for EOF.  Per the documentation for eof() in Perl (try 'perldoc -f eof')

This works great with 7.0, thank you! I've applied it in Gentoo.

#12? You can also try the non-backwards-compatible fix in comment #0 if you
won't be using older Texinfo.

Thanks! I've tried out the latest one from comment 22. Sorry, I'd missed the
attachments (not as familiar with savannah as I ought to be).
