I'm trying to produce PDFs with Texinfo. I've installed it with: guix install texinfo
Then I tried to run Texinfo and it produced a nice HTML page, but it failed when I tried to produce a PDF saying that there is no TeX installation. Then I installed the packages "texlive-latex-base", "texlive-fonts-latex" and "texlive-bin" and executed Texinfo again, but this time I got: TeX neither supports -recorder nor outputs \openout lines in its log file. I could install the texlive package, but I don't have that much free space to waste. What I want is a minimal installation. I would be grateful if someone gives me a list of packages required on a base system to use all features of Texinfo.
