I saw this, too. And I determined two things:
1. If you use a Debian (or, possibly, a Debian based distro), it
will fail unless modified;
2. Extra intervention appears required for the info file to be fully
accessible.
Details:
1. The Makefile uses GNU install-info. In Debian, "install-info" is
part of the dpkg package, and thus different. Setting
INSTALL_INFO to "ginstall-info" solved this problem for
me. (ginstall-info is part of the texinfo package, and is
Debian's name for GNU's install-info.)
2. However, the [g]install-info command as called by "make
install-info" was not entirely complete, as it did not copy the
info file (doc/org) into info_dir directory, but only updated the
main Info file ("/usr/local/info/dir").
I got things working by manually copying doc/org to
/usr/local/info/.
Possible solution:
Use these lines in place of the two beginning on line 55 of the Makefile:
# Name of the program to install info files
if [ `which ginstall-info ` ] ;
then INSTALL_INFO=ginstall-info;
else INSTALL_INFO=install-info;
fi
And add this line to the install-info section of the Makefile:
cp $(INFOFILES) $(infodir)
Of course, I might just be showing my ignorance on some of this
stuff. I'm willing to be corrected.
Thanks,
Dan
