This looks as if makeinfo in now *required*. Try installing texinfo on
the host.
However, on a previous message, Walter P. Little had already cautioned me:
You may have already done this, but just in case something got missed, for
what it's worth, here's what I had to do to prep a stock Ubuntu 12.04
install for building LFS-7.4:
- change /bin/sh symlink to point to /bin/bash instead of /bin/dash
- install the following packages: build-essential, bison, gawk, texinfo
And I am not ignoring Pierre Labastie's command:
Texinfo 4.9 is in the "host system requirements" section (preface vii)...Vasco,
please, have a look at that page.
I did strive to be more careful (and responsible) this time. So I ran the
version check script from VII, and am attaching the output for your perusal.
From it, I conclude:
1. On my Ubuntu I should install at least/bison, gawk, g++, m4/ and/makeinfo/
(via apt-get install/packa//ge-name/, assuming these are indeed the names).
2. Possibly, I should also install/build-essential/.
3. Change the symlink as suggested by Walter.
I did run the version-check at the beginning but obviously did not pay enough
attention to the output on the console. Sorry for the oversight and the hassle
caused. In future I shall redirect outputs to files and check them carefully.
Thank you again, gentlemen. Best regards.
