I'm aware of two separate problems with the same symptom: - not being able to build gdb from a snapshot or release tarball without makeinfo - not being able to build gdb from the repository without makeinfo [ It's a bit unfortunate that PRs reporting both problems have been marked = as duplicate of this PR. ] The first is gdb-specific, the second is due to top-level configure. AFAICT, comment 0 reports the first problem, and comment 15 the second. The first one has been fixed in aforementioned commit. I've just confirmed that downloading the gdb 12.1 tarball and doing configure MAKEINFO=3D/usr/bin/false and make all-gdb gets me a complete build. I'm working on fixing the second, I'm in the process of upstreaming a patch= at gcc-patches ( https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2022-October/602797.html ). [ FWIW, I have a workaround submitted here https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-September/191642.html if you're looking for something less intrusive. Note also that this should wo= rk: ./configure; make MAKEINFO=3D/usr/bin/true, it's just a bit cumbersome to h= ave to remember to do this for each make invocation. ] --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
