The first challenge for the prospective reader is building the manual itself. git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/c-intro-and-ref.git cd c-intro-and-ref make c.pdf

On my machine this failed to build the index sections at the end.

  The command in the Makefile should be "texi2dvi" or "texi2pdf".

Thanks for the instructions. sudo apt update sudo apt install texlive-latex-extra sudo apt install dvipdf sudo apt install ghostscript sudo apt install texinfo git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/c-intro-and-ref.git https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/c-intro-and-ref.git cd c-intro-and-ref make c.pdf makeinfo --html -v c.texi -o c.html --no-split

  I ran these after creating a docker container on my mac. > docker run -t -i -v $HOME/docker-mounted:/tmp ubuntu /bin/bash And copy the c.pdf from /tmp in docker to my local mac.

  > sudo apt install dvipdf There's no such package.

    I think the package texlive-base or texlive-latex-extra includes dvips (for PostScript), which provides the dvipdf command.

  With Guix: guix shell --pure git texinfo make nss-certs [env] $ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/c-intro-and-ref.git [env] $ cd c-intro-and-ref [env] $ make c.info ...and read it in your Info reader; I recommend Emacs (C-u h i /path/to/c RET). PDF is inferior because it doesn't have a convenient way to access the curated concept or variable index, whereas in Info you can just hit "i" and type something like "array, layout in memory" and jump straight to the relevant paragraph.

Yeah I wrote a quick `all` rule in the Makefile: all: c.info c.pdf c.dvi c.doc c.html c.txt After building I am getting the title really badly shifted to the right and no contents page. It could be that my tex package is a little broken though.

The entire thread was a worthless soap opera until your comment saved the day, thank you!
