Cross Compiler texinfo Dependency

Hi,

In my experience, texinfo is a required package for building some of the binutils (in particular, "as"). The same problem was also discovered here.

Shouldn't the http://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler page be updated with this?

Thanks,

Hi,

As far as I know, and I may be wrong, texinfo is a dependency for all documentation-related building. Again, I might be wrong about that; I just popped in to say:

The page you linked to is a part of the OSdev wiki: you can freely edit and modify it yourself. :)

Regards,
Shikhin

The Wiki article is just a convenience. You should consult the official binutils documentation if you want the actual answer.
