Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
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.
make[5]: *** [standards.info] Error 1
make[4]: *** [info] Error 1
make[3]: *** [all-etc] Error 2
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [x86] Error 2
make: *** [newlib] Error 2
I know. it's a silly question. Sorry. But he stopped me before I even begin.
That's a warning which is unlikely related to the actual build failure. With these big, complicated automake projects (newlib in this case) it can be hard to catch actual causes without digging through a lot of logs.
