             Bug #: 14678
           Summary: GDB 7.5 fails to build unless makeinfo is installed
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: psmith@gnu.org
    Classification: Unclassified


I've seen various bugs against earlier releases of GDB stating that they would
not build on systems where makeinfo is not installed, but they were supposed to
be fixed in the current GDB releases.  So there is a new build failure with GDB
7.5, which will not build properly on systems without makeinfo installed.

It appears that gdb.info is depending on the generated file GDBvn.texi, but
that file is not provided in the GDB 7.5 distribution.  As a result make
rebuilds it, and as a result of THAT it wants to rebuild gdb.info but this of
course fails if makeinfo is not available:

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.
