The makeinfo.README file in the GNU top-level directory says: "makeinfo is part of the texinfo distribution. Get texinfo-*.tar.gz.
However, all GNU distributions should come with prebuilt info files, thus makeinfo should not be needed. If you notice a distribution that does not come with *.info files, please report it as a bug." When I was building grep-2.5.3 on Solaris 2.10 using GNU make-3.8.1, I got an error that it could not find makeinfo, implying that this was not true for this distribution: /bin/bash: line 9: makeinfo: command not found make[2]: *** [grep.info] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory `/app/grep-2.5.3/doc' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/app/grep-2.5.3' *** Error code 2 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all'
