Subject: [PATCH] Add --without-makeinfo
Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2022 17:21:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221004152132.GA1906@delia.home> (raw)
Hi,
Currently, we cannot build gdb without makeinfo installed.
It would be convenient to work around this by using the configure flag
MAKEINFO=/usr/bin/true or some such, but that doesn't work because top-level
configure requires a makeinfo of at least version 4.7, and that version check
fails for /usr/bin/true, so we end up with MAKEINFO=missing instead.
What does work is this:
...
$ ./configure
$ make MAKEINFO=/usr/bin/true
...
but the drawback is that it'll have to be specified for each make invocation.
Fix this by adding support for --without-makeinfo in top-level configure.
Tested by building gdb on x86_64-linux, and verifying that no .info files
were generated.
OK for trunk?
Thanks,
- Tom
