Lauryans,

Are there problems with other files besides make? I have limited time and as
such I usually concentrate on getting the executables correct.

The make is an alpha release from Simtel. The make sources have the LFN
info, but the binary file manifest uses SFN and as such it is picking up
some old files and not using the new files.

On the next clio update I will be moving to make 3.80 if all goes well
between now and then. It also produces LFN docs in the standard build.

I don't have a link to distrib.zip if you need to get it via FTP, this was
done so that newbies wouldn't download it any try to use it.

Eli,

What is the correct procedure in order to produce the info files from the
3.79.2a sources? In make 3.80 there is a doc directory and it also produces
LFN info docs.

If I delete the make.info* files and do a make the makeinfo produces LFN
info files.

Thanks,
Andrew
