[VM] gmake failure

[Michael]

Woke early so had a bit of free time to install gmake (thanks Mark Diekhans) and try to install vm.
Now, with gmake, I get this:
In end of data:
u-vm-color.el:759:1:Warning: the function `vm-restore-buffer-modified-p' might
not be defined at runtime.

Now what do I do? I see it mentions maildrop, but that is also installed.

Sorry for all the problems and thanks for all the help.

The messages come from makeinfo, not gmake. Could you try

cd /usr/home/mike/Programs/vm-8.2.0b/info
makeinfo vm.texinfo -o vm.info
echo $?

The last line prints the exit status, which should be 0, otherwise
make aborts.

Regards,
Reinhard

Building the documentation fails with recent versions of
texinfo/makeinfo (6.x)... even on GNU/Linux and MacOS X. It works with
the version (4.8) that ships with Mac OS X.

Workaround: edit the Makefile and remove info from SUBDIRS.

Reinhard, exit was 1, so I followed Herbert's suggestion.
That worked.
Going to be busy for a while, so will let you all know how it goes.

Thanks again for all the help!
