Hi Bill;
Here is some more information:
ls -ld /opt/local/bin/makeinfo
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 8 Dec 9 19:36 /opt/local/bin/makeinfo ->
texi2any
port list texinfo
texinfo @7.0.1 textproc/texinfo
ls -ld /opt/local/bin/texi2any
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 68708 Dec 9 19:36 /opt/local/bin/texi2any
port contents texinfo | grep texi2any
/opt/local/bin/texi2any
/opt/local/share/info/texi2any_api.info
/opt/local/share/info/texi2any_internals.info
/opt/local/share/man/man1/texi2any.1.gz
I've never created a MacPorts bug report before; guess it is time to
learn how to do that :-)
Looks like a simple fix. The Portfile for a2ps includes this definition:
MAKEINFO=/usr/bin/makeinfo
Which would explain why the build failed and why the config didn't
bother looking for a working makeinfo.
Thanks,
Ken

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.
