Does this issue still exist? It is indeed a big inconvenience to have a user install 100s of MBs of texlive font packages to have cloog build succeed! It's a common build failure issue without them.
Note that even if texinfo is installed, texi2dvi
will not succeed unless relevant font packages have been installed.
Cloog's build (default
make
target) currently depends not just on texinfo but on the installation of a large number of other tex/latex/fonts packages just so that the doc manual can be built. While these are readily available in Ubuntu/Fedora repos, if one doesn't know the minimum number of packages needed, several hundred MBs of packages need to be installed to just satisfy this dependency: it's not justtexinfo
but a good amount of the tex installation including fonts are needed to build the manual. I often need to recall the package names, and it even crosses a GB sometimes on a system that otherwise doesn't have/need texlive. (I think one needs to install texinfo, texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-fonts-recommended, texlive-fonts-extra -- it's more than a GB IIRC.)Can the build of the manual be removed from all default targets and from 'make all'? It can be optional.
