Hi; a2ps fails to install (compressed log attached). one item I noticed (several instances: :info:destroot /bin/sh: /usr/bin/makeinfo: No such file or directory Does this mean that there is a missing dependency?
It looks like it's saying that the version of 'makeinfo' that has historically been included in macOS is not present.
That seems like something Apple might have done in a recent version, as they have been removing GNU tools pretty aggressively. It was still there in Catalina (which is as far as I've ventured...)
If it really is gone, you can get a version by installing the 'texinfo' port, but it won't be at that path and it won't be whatever version Apple last had in the base system. However, it might be noticed and used by the a2ps configure stage and if so, should work. I expect that the proper solution will be to add texinfo as a dependency.
