That section shows several ways to do it, but I find at least two of
them don't seem to work for me... probably something I'm doing wrong.
Before posting here about it I had tried to extend INFOPATH in my
~/.bashrc file like this:
grep INFO ~/.bashrc
INFOPATH=$INFOPATH:/usr/local/src/stumpwm:/usr/local/gnus/texi
The Stand Alone info reader finds stumpwm but emacs does not
Using the approach of adding my own dir file. (inlined below) at
/usr/local/info/dir, inside a freshly started emacs
`C-h i m stumpwm' fails
My attempt appears to follow the example given:
`
* Test: (/home/bob/info/info-test). Bob's own test file. '
On the stumpwm line shown here the address ends in the top level
directory. The info file is directly under there. I also tried (not
shown here) by putting the complete file name:
(/usr/local/src/stumpwm/stumpwm.info)
Do you see something wrong in both or either of my attempts (including
the INFO path approach?
cat /usr/local/info/dir
Local info files (updates by user reader)
* Stumpwm: (/usr/local/src/stumpwm/stumpwm.info). stump manual.
