This is a bug in binutils, not in texinfo. Texinfo just increased its version number. It should be fixed either with the next binutils snapshot-release or by importing the following patch: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/gdb/F-7/gdb-6.6-upstream.patch?r1=1.6&r2=1.7&sortby=date&makepatch=1&diff_format=h *** Bug 323181 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Should be fixed in 2.18.50.0.3-1 in rawhide. |
Description of problem: I do not claim to understand why but under F8T3 with texinfo-4.11-1.fc8 installed several other .src.rpm builds will fail because configure claims to not be able to find makeinfo (even though it is there): configure: WARNING: *** Makeinfo is missing. Info documentation will not be built. then later during the build: 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. make[3]: *** [standards.info] Error 1 The worst case of this is binutils fails to build. I confirmed that if I go back to texinfo-4.9-1.fc8 then the problem goes away. I ran into this when trying to build binutils for ia64 however I have also reproduced on x86_64. It likely has not been reported because x86_64 binutils has not changed and hence has not needed a rebuild Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): texinfo-4.11-1.fc8 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F8T3 2. confirm you have texinfo-4.11-1.fc8 3. rpmbuild --rebuild -bb binutils-2.17.50.0.18-1.src.rpm Actual results: configure stage Expected results: Additional info:
