Comment (by kencu):

The newer `makeinfo` installed by the `texinfo` port is barfing on the old
`texi` file in treecc (which is ancient software).

If you just deactivate `texinfo` you can build it:
{{{
sudo port deactivate texinfo
}}}
{{{
$ port -v installed treecc
The following ports are currently installed:
treecc @0.3.10_1 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64'
date='2018-12-05T12:26:23-0800'
}}}

treecc hasn't been updated since ice was delivered by truck. I just don't
have the enthusiasm to fix the texi file.

Old description:



New description:

treecc fails to build with current `makeinfo` versions due to ancient
`texi` in `treecc.texi`.

deactivating `texinfo` lets the old `makeinfo` on some systems build it.

Otherwise the `treecc.texi` file could be fixed, or that part of the docs
could be disabled from building.

`treecc` is old, and hasn't been updated in 10 years. Upstream looks
dormant AFAICT.
