Re: Installing Texinfo from Development Source Tree.

[Christopher Dimech]

I am getting the following complaining of makeinfo.
Have installed Gnu Make


WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or
         any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.
         You might want to install the Texinfo package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
         The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of
         using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might
         want to install GNU make:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/>
make[2]: *** [Makefile:1368: texinfo-js.info] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/hagbard/GAdmBuild/texinfo/js'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1379: all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/hagbard/GAdmBuild/texinfo'
Makefile:1318: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2
