Hi, 

I am trying to figure out what the correct way to build the documentation
is. I want to create an info file. From the research I have done online, 
it seems as if 'makeinfo gdb.texinfo' should be the correct command.

This is the output I get.

bob@black:~/cvs/src/gdb/doc$ makeinfo gdb.texinfo
gdb.texinfo:11: @include `gdb-cfg.texi': No such file or directory.
gdb.texinfo:18836: @include `rluser.texinfo': No such file or directory.
gdb.texinfo:18836: @include `inc-hist.texinfo': No such file or
directory.
./gdb.texinfo:18838: Next reference to nonexistent node `Command Line
Editing'.
./gdb.texinfo:18924: Prev reference to nonexistent node `Using History
Interactively'.
./gdb.texinfo:13609: Cross reference to nonexistent node `Command Line
Editing'.
./gdb.texinfo:154: Menu reference to nonexistent node `Using History
Interactively'.
./gdb.texinfo:153: Menu reference to nonexistent node `Command Line
Editing'.
makeinfo: Removing output file `/home/bob/cvs/src/gdb/doc/gdb.info' due
to errors; use --force to preserve.

When I do 'makeinfo --force gdb.texinfo' I get 

bob@black:~/cvs/src/gdb/doc$ makeinfo --force gdb.texinfo
gdb.texinfo:11: @include `gdb-cfg.texi': No such file or directory.
gdb.texinfo:18836: @include `rluser.texinfo': No such file or directory.
gdb.texinfo:18836: @include `inc-hist.texinfo': No such file or
directory.
./gdb.texinfo:18838: Next reference to nonexistent node `Command Line
Editing'.
./gdb.texinfo:18924: Prev reference to nonexistent node `Using History
Interactively'.
./gdb.texinfo:13609: Cross reference to nonexistent node `Command Line
Editing'.
./gdb.texinfo:154: Menu reference to nonexistent node `Using History
Interactively'.
./gdb.texinfo:153: Menu reference to nonexistent node `Command Line
Editing'.

This actually creates the gdb.info file. However, it seems that when I
change gdb.texinfo then run 'makeinfo --force gdb.texinfo' again,
I can not see the changes in gdb.info. Does anyone know why this is?

Should I have to use --force to get the changes?
Why doesn't the Makefile do anything in the doc directory?
Do I have to invoke configure in a certain way?

Here is the version of makeinfo

bob@black:~/cvs/src/gdb/doc$ makeinfo --version
makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.1
