No, you should pass the configure option --without-makeinfo. There is a real issue here though, and it is that the top-level Makefile does not check whether or not it needs to rebuild any manuals before checking the value of MAKEINFO. (The manuals are pre-built in the tarball, specifically so that you don't need makeinfo to install a released version of Emacs.) This only shows up when doing `make install'. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
