Hello,
Currently i have docbook2X not working on my system (a perl problem
that i don't know how to repair, but in a few months i will reinstall completely
this C:\Cygwin64 which dates back to 2019).
This means that /usr/share/docbook2X and /usr/bin/docbook2x-texi are missing.
Consequently, no *.info* file is produced.
Nevertheless, i tried to compile cygwin from sources (newlib-cygwin-3.3.6.tar.bz2),
knowing that "Normally, building ignores any errors in building the documentation"
(see https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin)
However, in order to 'make' and then 'make install' properly, i had to apply the following
easy patch (below).
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Denis Excoffier.

The behaviour was changed by [1], but unfortunately the documentation
change that contains has not yet been published.
Use the configure option '--disable-doc'.

Ignoring errors here is (and always was) a terrible idea, frankly.

For me, '--disable-doc' makes no difference with the unpatched code. Same errors. Sorry.

With cygwin-3.4.0-0.1, '--disable-doc’ now works as expected. Thank you.
