Subject: Make errors

Just a user problem I'm sure but when I go to use the make command I get:

make: makeinfo: Command not found
make: ******** Error 127

What am I doing wrong?

Using gcc-2.7.2 and make-3.74.

Thanks

Nothing to do with make, or gcc, I'm afraid.

You just don't have the command "makeinfo" installed.
It's in the texinfo package.

Installl texinfo, and you should be OK.

Or, emacs can do the job, if you have it.  (And what are you making?
I've always run into this building emacs-related packages, so I'm
guessing you have it, but perhaps it shows up far afield.)

The makefile you're using should have an entry like

	MAKEINFO      = makeinfo   

and perhaps also 

	EMACS = emacs 

which you could add, if not.  

Change the first to 

	MAKEINFO      = $(EMACS) -batch -q -f batch-texinfo-format

and it will run emacs in batch (non-interactive) mode to do the job.

Does that fit?
