Homebrew-emacs-plus: Can't install due to some makeinfo problems

[agzam]

Sorry for dumping entire log of the command, I thought verbose log would be helpful.
note the lines:

configure: error: You do not seem to have makeinfo >= 4.13, and your
source tree does not seem to have pre-built manuals in the 'info' directory.
Either install a suitable version of makeinfo, or re-run configure
with the '--without-makeinfo' option to build without the manuals. 

I've tried brew install texinfo and then brew ln texinfo --force and now makeinfo --version shows texi2any (GNU texinfo) 6.3, but installing emacs-plus still fails

@d12frosted Can you give me and insight of what's missing on my machine (OS X El Capitan)? Until recently everything worked fine. Thanks!

brew reinstall emacs-plus --HEAD --verbose

[agzam]

interestingly cloning source manually and building it works.

[d12frosted]

Ok, I cant reproduce it. Gonna check what's wrong with it.

[agzam]

yeah, they seem to have changed something and now I can't build. Tried removing Xcode and xcode dev tools, reinstalling, etc. Still doesn't build ;(

[d12frosted]

It fails even with emacs formula. So that might be something wrong with emacs formula that needs to be updated (so I can cherry-pick that fix) or something wrong with brew.

Update fix some silly typos

[agzam]

so here's the thing, I've tried cloning git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git and building manually from master - it works. Whadda hell is brew doing - no clue.

[agzam]

I have opened the ticket there https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/8430

[d12frosted]

@agzam thanks!

[agzam]

Cool, they've fixed it!

[agzam]

Oh, wait... I still can't build emacs-plus with --HEAD :( formula needs updating, or something?

[d12frosted]

Yes, I need to update my formula. Should be fixed by https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus/commit/ad8a99dbbfd7694bc8bf34c7f2ad41fa5d29f633.
