On my Archlinux box with up to date texlive, and a newly cloned org-mode
installation, "make doc" fails with the following messages:
Output written on org.pdf (257 pages, 974386 bytes).
Transcript written on org.log.
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: pdftex exited with bad status, quitting.
make[1]: *** [org.pdf] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/doc/WB/Elisp/org-mode.git/doc'
make: *** [pdf] Error 2
This is a recent happening, within approxiately 2 to 3 weeks. I downgraded
emacs (also relevant to another recent problem), and re-cloned the git
repo.
Should I run text2pdf on org.texi, in the doc/ directory, the pdf file is
generated cleanly. I assume there is an issue in doc/Makefile.
One suspects this issue may involve a recent update of the texlive packages
on this system. In doc/Makefile, is a workaround due to a bug in
texi2dvi. When I deleted the two lines from doc/Makefile, the same issue
seems to exist, but making of org.pdf is skipped, since it already exists:
the failure is for orgguide.pdf, in this case.
I do not understand makefiles well enough to go any further with this.
