help , How to compile eduOS ??

Post by xunilams »

I get this problem when i try to build eduOS

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.
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.

silly answer but check if you have installed texinfo and make.
in ubuntu/debian:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt install make texinfo
they should be installed by default.
