build from svn - texinfo errors

[Claude Marinier]

Hi,

After spending hours getting Kawa from the Subversion repository (it
kept timing-out), I was able to build it up to the documentation. It
produces many errors; here are the first few.

Making all in doc
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/claude/build/kawa/doc'
restore=: && backupdir=".am$$" && \
    am__cwd=`pwd` && CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && \
    rm -rf $backupdir && mkdir $backupdir && \
    if (/bin/bash /home/claude/build/kawa/missing makeinfo --version)
>/dev/null 2>&1; then \
      for f in kawa.info kawa.info-[0-9] kawa.info-[0-9][0-9]
kawa.i[0-9] kawa.i[0-9][0-9]; do \
        if test -f $f; then mv $f $backupdir; restore=mv; else :; fi; \
      done; \
    else :; fi && \
    cd "$am__cwd"; \
    if /bin/bash /home/claude/build/kawa/missing makeinfo   -I . \
     -o kawa.info kawa.texi; \
    then \
      rc=0; \
      CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd .; \
    else \
      rc=$?; \
      CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && \
      $restore $backupdir/* `echo "./kawa.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; \
    fi; \
    rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc
kawa.texi:3428: unknown command `sup' (possibly involving @arbno)
kawa.texi:3428: misplaced { (possibly involving @arbno)
kawa.texi:3428: misplaced } (possibly involving @arbno)
kawa.texi:3430: unknown command `sup' (possibly involving @atleastone)
kawa.texi:3430: misplaced { (possibly involving @atleastone)
kawa.texi:3430: misplaced } (possibly involving @atleastone)

kawa.texi:3669: misplaced { (possibly involving @arbno)
kawa.texi:3669: misplaced } (possibly involving @arbno)
. . .

Is everything else built properly? Can I safely ignore this and proceed?

Thank you.

Bummer.  I normally don't have problems, but it is possible
there is a server glitch.

Yes, you can ignore it.

The @sup command was added to texinfo 6.0 (at my suggestion).
(makeinfo --version should be 6.0 or higher.)
Before that I defined @sup as a macro, but that was obviously more of a kludge.

Good afternoon,

I have rebuilt my laptop (now Ubunru 16.04) and re-installed the JDK
and Android SDK. The new version of texinfo can create the
documentation; this error stopped (though not essential) stops the
build process. Kawa from svn I fetched on the 18th builds without
error. This is good.

Building an example Android app fails like it did before. Do I need to
copy and edit the custom_rules.xml to specify the main class?


-pre-compile:

-compile:
    [javac] Compiling 2 source files to /home/claude/build/KawaHello/bin/classes

scompile:
     [java] Error: Could not find or load main class kawa.repl

BUILD FAILED
/home/claude/build/KawaHello/custom_rules.xml:10: Java returned: 1


Note: I am not comfortable with Java.

Thanks.

As I understand my old instructions: You need to copy the custom_rules.xml,
but you shouldn't need to edit it.

$ cd $HELLO_APP_DIR
$ ln -s $KAWA_DIR/kawa-$VERSION.jar libs/kawa.jar
$ln -s $KAWA_DIR/gnu/kawa/android/custom_rules.xml .

Make sure the libs/kawa.jar points to the correct file.
