Bug #: 54452 Summary: "no makeinfo case" in classpath/doc still fails when makeinfo is not present Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: bootstrap AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: ger...@pfeifer.com The way I read this code and the warning message, the build should continue even when makeinfo is not present. (This is current SVN and we have built stage 3 already): if /home/gp/svn/gcc-HEAD/missing makeinfo --split-size=5000000 --split-size=5000000 -I /home/gp/svn/gcc-HEAD/libjava/classpath/doc \ -o cp-tools.info `test -f 'cp-tools.texinfo' || echo '/home/gp/svn/gcc-HEAD/libjava/classpath/doc/'`cp-tools.texinfo; \ then \ rc=0; \ else \ rc=$?; \ $restore $backupdir/* `echo "./cp-tools.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; \ fi; \ rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX, DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site. However, this is not the case and we abort: gmake[7]: *** [cp-tools.info] Error 1 gmake[7]: Leaving directory `/tmp/OBJ-0901-0131/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/32/libjava/classpath/doc' gmake[6]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 : gmake[5]: Leaving directory `/tmp/OBJ-0901-0131/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/32/libjava/classpath' gmake[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/tmp/OBJ-0901-0131/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/32/libjava' gmake[3]: *** [multi-do] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/OBJ-0901-0131/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libjava' gmake[2]: *** [all-multi] Error 2 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/OBJ-0901-0131/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libjava' gmake[1]: *** [all-target-libjava] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/OBJ-0901-0131' gmake: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 2 ?\*\*
