guile-1.8.7 instructions for copying documentation files gave error

[Dominic Jones]

The shell commands for copying the text documentation for guile-1.8.7 did not work when I attempted them. Per the instructions, I tried:

find examples -name "Makefile*" -exec rm {} \; && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/guile-1.8.7 && cp -v -R examples /usr/share/doc/guile-1.8.7 &&

for DIRNAME in goops r5rs ref tutorial do

install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/${PACKAGE_NAME}-${PACKAGE_VERSION}/$DIRNAME && install -v -m644 doc/$DIRNAME/*.txt \

/usr/share/doc/${PACKAGE_NAME}-${PACKAGE_VERSION}/$DIRNAME &&

done && unset DIRNAME

The for command failed with an error message regarding an unexpected token done. I was manually entering the commands; a second, retyped attempt failed with the same error message.

Entering the install commands separately with manual variable substitutions worked.

I did not create the optional alternative documentation.

The error is due to an extraneous && at the end of the loop. This has been fixed in r8447. Thanks for the report.

Updated milestone to 6.7

This is a product of my script being somewhat different than the book, and then me cut and pasting instructions from my script without making the appropriate changes. Easy fix. Thanks for noticing!

[Randy McMurchy]

Updated the documentation build and installation instructions. It should work as designed now.

Thanks for reporting the issue!
