Hi Eli,

Thanks for all this. PDF and HTML output work fine.

I've attached the EPS format (compressed with bzip2) for use with
PostScript/DVI.

There seems to be a problem with PostScript and DVI output. "make dvi"
seems to create a PDF file (not a DVI file), then leading to an error.

        Output written on gdb.pdf (451 pages, 1609029 bytes).
        Transcript written on gdb.log.
        /usr/bin/texi2dvi: no such file or directory: gdb.dvi
        make[2]: *** [gdb.dvi] Error 1
        make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jeremy/partners/GDB/cvstrees/build/doc'
        make[1]: *** [subdir_do] Error 1
        make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jeremy/partners/GDB/cvstrees/build'
        make: *** [dvi] Error 2

"make ps" doesn't work in the main directory. "make ps" in the "doc"
subdirectory gives the same behavior as "make dvi" above.

The problem seems to be that texi2dvi is generating PDF. This seems to
be GDB specific. It applies to each of the GDB manuals (gdb.texinfo,
gdbint.texinfo etc), but not to texinfo manuals in other projects.

It could be connected with the move to replace etex by a link to pdftex
in recent Linuxes (I'm using FC9), which may require some modification
to GDB's custom texinfo.tex.

I'll investigate further and raise a bug as appropriate.

ATB,


Jeremy
