In make development source, I met :

  TEXI2DVI doc/interpreter/octave.dvi
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: etex exited with bad status, quitting.
Makefile:27499: recipe for target 'doc/interpreter/octave.dvi' failed
make[2]: *** [doc/interpreter/octave.dvi] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/mnt/d/usr/Tatsu/wslwork/octave/octavedev/octave/builddir'

make[1]: Leaving directory '/mnt/d/usr/Tatsu/wslwork/octave/octavedev/octave/builddir'
Makefile:9787: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

Was it a parallel build?

Try "make -j1 V=1"

 

How to solve this?
