Compiling newlib

[asdftyui]

I followed the gcc cross-compiler tutorial and went to the porting newlib. Everything worked fine till I tried compiling it by issuing

Code: Select all

make all install 

when I got the following error:

Code: Select all

WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system.  You should only need it if
         you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
         indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.  The spurious
         call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
         DU, IRIX).  You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
         the `GNU make' package.  Grab either from any GNU archive site.

and the compilation stops.
I am using Ubuntu 11.10.
I have tried:
-using different gcc, binutils and newlib versions (about 5 different combinations)
-installing Texinfo
-correcting makeinfo path
My cross-compiler works perfectly without the newlib just that it of course cannot include the libraries.

This might help.

What do I need to do with the PDClib?
And thank you for making the effort to reply to my post.

What do I need to do with the PDClib?

• Go to website.
• Find and use download link (or SVN link if you prefer trunk over v0.5).
• Unpack.
• Read "README.txt".

It's all in there. Really.
