You need the 'makeinfo' program installed. It's optional, so the build won't fail if it's missing. > Normally there is a manual file in different form which creates > something you can read using the "man grub" command, but it appears you > guys went another way? info and man are different styles of documentation. Manual pages tend to have a quick-reference flavour, whereas info pages are a bit closer to short books describing the program. If you have the 'help2man' program installed, then you'll also get manual pages, albeit only ones generated automatically from the --help output so they aren't really as good as proper hand-written manual pages. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
