[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

I'm using automake 1.16.5. The advice about how to disable the "dvi" target
doesn't seem to work.

In the manual it says:

   To make ‘dvi’ into a do-nothing target, see the example for
‘EMPTY_AUTOMAKE_TARGETS’ in *note Third-Party Makefiles::.

If I have:

EMPTY_AUTOMAKE_TARGETS = dvi
.PHONY: $(EMPTY_AUTOMAKE_TARGETS)
$(EMPTY_AUTOMAKE_TARGETS):

in my Makefile.am, then "TEXI2DVI" is still run by "make distcheck".

If I instead have:

dvi:

then it is not.
