Hi,
I noticed that during an ordinary make there is executed a "make install" in man. This causes a failure when building with MingW under Vista, because install may not be executed without admin permissions. Also, isn't this wrong in the first place ?

This should not happen and does not happen here (MinGW, XP). Strange.
-
What further information can I provide ?
I've set it up from a clean checkout with autogen.sh, which ran with no problem.
There is a second (probably related) problem. make install (called as admin) runs into an infinite recursion in the man directory.
-
sturedman, can you please send me (by PM) the Makefile.in and Makefile files from your docs and docs/man directories?
-
Here it is (attaching to pm didn't work, mail neither).
-
The Makefiles seem perfectly ok to me, they work here. What version of make are you using? Try running make -d to find out what triggers the install rule. (Be warned: this will produce lots of information.)
-
It's GNU Make 3.81.
Here's the -d log.
Ah, there is a file named 'INSTALL'. That's probably what is triggering it. Make is switching everything to lowercase for this platform.

Strange, but not unexpected from MSW. I don't really know what we can do about it.
-
How about renaming 'INSTALL' to 'INSTALL.txt' ? That should fix it. ;)
