#18931: /opt/local/share/info/dir contains defective content --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Peter_Dyballa@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: | Port: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment(by Peter_Dyballa@…): Yes! It's simply not enough to create INFO files from the TEXI files and install them in /opt/local/share/info. Without a "dir" file in this directory GNU Emacs or xinfo (or any possible other INFO file reader) won't the documentation. A final step has to be: {{{ pushd /opt/local/share/info install-info <INFO file> dir popd }}} The packages' Makefiles will have entries to install the INFO file(s) correctly. Maybe this fails in MacPorts due to the hard-linking which might leave something out or because someone decided to make it simpler to swap different versions of a software package. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/18931#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
