It is more or less serious because if you are trying to build something else, the build stops (even though the /usr/local/bin/gmake does get installed.) - - - - - - - - - - 1) Makefile.in is calling install-info with "--infodir" rather than "--info-dir". (from Makefile.in.orig) 209: install-info --infodir=$(infodir) $$dir/make.info; \ So we wind up with: install-info --infodir=/usr/local/info $dir/make.info; else true; fi install-info: unrecognized option `--infodir=/usr/local/info' Try `install-info --help' for a complete list of options. *** Error code 1 Stop. (from install-info --help) --info-dir=DIR Same as --dir-file=DIR/dir. - - - - - - - - - - 2) Once that is corrected, we still have a problem: install-info --info-dir=/usr/local/info $dir/make.info; else true; fi install-info: no info dir entry in `./make.info' Which after having RTFSC tells me that the make.info file doesn't have a START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY [...] END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY section. I notice that of all the .info files I have lying around only gnats.info and m4.info have this section, and they were created with Makeinfo 1.55 while the -current version is 1.67. Is there some switch that has to get thrown for makeinfo to DTRT? >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: 1) Give install-info the correct command line 2) unknown what the right thing is to do about the INFO-DIR-ENTRY problem >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
