'make doc' .info and .txt generation failure

[random-bites]

While installing Gambit 4.9.5 (using the UCRT64-MSYS2 environment) the make doc step failed to create the gambit info files and the gambit.txt file.

When I read the gambit.txi file into an Emacs buffer and ran its makeinfo buffer command on this file, it gave the following errors and exited.

makeinfo --fill-column=70 gambit.txi
gambit.txi:5547: unknown command `rm'
gambit.txi:5547: unknown command `rm'
gambit.txi:5601: unknown command `rm'
gambit.txi:5601: unknown command `rm'
gambit.txi:5601: unknown command `rm'
gambit.txi:5601: unknown command `rm'

I wasn't able to find the command @rm in the Texinfo documentation (Maybe it is a custom command? I don't know anything about Texinfo.). But, when I commented out lines 5547 and 5601 (and each of the @end deffn lines) I was able to compile the file gambit.txi to four info files and one text file using the commands I found the file gambit/doc/makefile.

NOTE: These are the only two lines with the @rm command in gambit.txi.

Line 5547:
@deffn procedure char-set-hash @var{char-set} @rm{[}@var{bound}@rm{]}
@end deffn

Line 5601:
@deffn procedure ucs-range->char-set @var{lower} @var{upper} @rm{[}@var{error?} @rm{[}@var{base-cs}@rm{]}@rm{]}
@end deffn

I'm using makeinfo version 7.1.

After further investigation, it appears to me that the @rm is a typo and was supposed to be @r.

@random-bites Thanks for seeing this typo!
