I have makeinfo 4.8 already installed. Command line typing $ makeinfo --version
returns makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.8
.
I'd like to update the version to the latest 4.13. I've found relevant info here and here. I'm new to command line/bash/git... Please help me out, much appreciated!
Looking at this issue, you shouldn't need dragonfly (or git commands):
configure: error: You do not seem to have makeinfo >= 4.13, and your
source tree does not seem to have pre-built manuals in the 'info' directory.
Either install a suitable version of makeinfo, or re-run configure
with the '--without-makeinfo' option to build without the manuals.
I've tried
brew install texinfo
and thenbrew ln texinfo --force
and nowmakeinfo --version
showstexi2any (GNU texinfo) 6.3
Note, as commented by jmq::
If you use
brew
to install, make sure you have/usr/local/opt/texinfo/bin
in your path, and it is before/usr/bin
.
Version 4.8 of this tool on the Mac (10.12.6) is located in/usr/bin/makeinfo
.
If this path is in front of the latter, then it will not find the latest version installed bybrew
.
