texinfo build failed on macOS Catalina: "help2man: can't get `--help' info from ..//tp/makeinfo"

[川原智和]

Hi

I am trying to build texinfo from repositpry source on macOS Catalina.

Confoigure script seemed to go well, but make was failed with the message "help2man: can't get `--help' info from ..//tp/makeinfo":

cd ..//tp && /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make makeinfo

rm -f makeinfo

ln -s texi2any makeinfo

/bin/sh /src/git/texinfo/build-aux/missing help2man --name="translate Texinfo documents" -I ./makeinfo.h2m ..//tp/makeinfo -o makeinfo.1

make[3]: `ginstall-info' is up to date.

/bin/sh /src/git/texinfo/build-aux/missing help2man --name="update info/dir entries" -I ./ginstall-info.h2m ..//install-info/ginstall-info -o install-info.1

help2man: can't get `--help' info from ..//tp/makeinfo

Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr

make[2]: *** [makeinfo.1] Error 2

make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2

hoge@hoge texinfo % 

Please tell me how to fix it?
