Re: [Info-stow] [Stow-devel] GNU Stow 2.2.2 released

[Jean Louis]

Thank you. I did that, I could build it, and not install it. It
requires texi2html which it does not check during configure. And I
have it not, it is not part of texinfo distribution that I know.

 make install
[ -d doc ] || mkdir doc # required in vpath mode
rm -f doc/manual-single.html
texi2html --P=. --output=doc/manual-single.html -expandinfo -menu -monolithic 
-verbose doc/stow.texi
make: texi2html: Command not found
make: *** [Makefile:1551: doc/manual-single.html] Error 127
