I would like to install pinfo
on my Mac for reading info files, instead of using the bad looking elder brother info
.
pinfo
is not yet provided by Homebrew. Perhaps it will soon, when I will get this question answered. (Here the relative issue, on GitHub.)
The project web site can be found here.
The source code here.
When I try to compile it, running ./autogen.sh
I get the following error messages:
atcold@AlfMAC ~/Work/Sandbox/pinfo-0.6.10 $ ./autogen.sh
Cleaning autotools files...

Running autoreconf...

autoreconf: failed to run autopoint: No such file or directory
autoreconf: autopoint is needed because this package uses Gettext
Something is bad with find's parameters (no big deal, I guess),
autopoint is missing, and brew doesn't know anything about it.

I also know that it was possible to get pinfo
with MacPort, so there is a place where to take inspiration, if needed (not sure how to get there yet).
When I try to look at trac.macports.org I get a 403 Forbidden
answer :(
Here is the link of almost the Macport's package for pinfo
, but I cannot go further.
Still editing!
I'm updating the issue on GitHub, here. I will update this question later, as well.
pinfo
'sautogen.sh
expects a GNUish version offind
that has a-t
option, but maybe OS X has a BSDish version that lacks that. The easiest way around this may be to install the GNUish version offind
(perhaps via Homebrew, if it has it).find
does not trouble me much... I got over many more steps in these past 2 hours. You can better follow it at the GitHub issue.
