OK, whell the system where this first came up is a Ubuntu 12.04 system. A bit old and not your fault as there is a newer ubuntu LTS version out there, but its not for me to update that system.
However on my Gentoo system, the version of texinfo which is on their stable branch is texinfo 4.13. There are 5.1 and 5.2 ebuilds in portage but these would need unmasking.

Hi allI'm to blame for this. When working on the documentation I noticed that you can greatly simplify the boilerplate when writing the documentation by making use of a feature that is only available in texinfo 5.0 and up. Since version 5.0 of texinfo is almost two years old now and comes with Ubuntu LTS I thought it was a safe choice.But then I ran into problems on the Travis CI server which rebuilds liblouis for every change (https://travis-ci.org/liblouis/liblouis), since it has the old Ubuntu LTS with texinfo 4.x. So I install texinfo 5.0 as part of the build (see .travis.yml at https://github.com/liblouis/liblouis/blob/master/.travis.yml).You could do the same, i.e. install a new texinfo or we could go back to the old version of the documentation although I really have a hard time getting excited about that.Thanks ChristianOn 11/24/2014 06:43 PM, Michael Whapples (Redacted sender mwhapples@xxxxxxx for DMARC) wrote:It appears something in the documentation is breaking the build in liblouis.
