Thanks,

for this hint. With adding the suggested I am able to create the docs without errors.

Is it possible to detect this problem at the configuration stage and add the search directory automatically?

This is actually a bug in miktex, not octave

Miktex does not honour the TEXINPUTS environment variable, so it ends up not picking up texinfo.tex from the octave sources, but rather to (too old) one shipped with miktex. And because it's too old, it fails.

The workaround is to explicitly add the doc/ subdirectory from octave's sources to miktex texi2dvi search path using the -I comandline argument by adding at configure stage

TEXI2DVI="texi2dvi -I /path/to/octave/sources/doc" TEXI2PDF="texi2dvi --pdf -I /path/to/octave/sources/doc"

make sure you are using texi2dvi from miktex and not the one from the msys texinfo package!

I am making progress with the mingw build of a recent tip. Now I see the following problem while creating the documentation. I am using miktex. I have no idea how to debug these kind of failures.
