Description Jan Kratochvil 2012-01-31 15:19:07 UTC
I do not know if it is true, to be verified:

(2012-01-31 16:14:58) sh4rm4: jankratochvil, since commit 411c4f627336109a8c1bd9fb2ba379f7c0ea951d gdb cannot be compiled anymore without makeinfo installed
(2012-01-31 16:15:10) sh4rm4: (you did that one)
(2012-01-31 16:15:21) jankratochvil: sh4rm4: AFAIK it could not be even before.
(2012-01-31 16:15:36) sh4rm4: it worked with gdb 7.3.1 without it
sh4rm4 shachaf 
(2012-01-31 16:16:14) jankratochvil: sh4rm4: Could you file it?  I will file it otherwise.
(2012-01-31 16:16:30) sh4rm4: i'd be glad if you did
(2012-01-31 16:16:46) tromey: I was also under the impression that this never worked
(2012-01-31 16:17:01) sh4rm4: no, it built just fine
(2012-01-31 16:17:15) palves: is this a release vs checkout thing?
(2012-01-31 16:17:49) sh4rm4: in release 7.3.1 you could compile it without makeinfo, with gdb 7.4. it is required
(2012-01-31 16:18:33) ISF [~ivan@143.106.196.39] entered the room.
(2012-01-31 16:18:33) sh4rm4: i tried using -with-texinfo=no to no avail
(2012-01-31 16:18:48) brobecke: try make MAKEINFO=true
Comment 1 Jan Kratochvil 2012-01-31 15:28:04 UTC
PASS: rm -rf gdb-7.3.1;tar xjf gdb-7.3.1.tar.bz2;(cd gdb-7.3.1;./configure;make)

FAIL: rm -rf gdb-7.4;tar xjf gdb-7.4.tar.bz2;(cd gdb-7.4;./configure;make)
checking for makeinfo... /tmp/gdb-7.4/missing makeinfo --split-size=5000000
configure: error: makeinfo is required for compilation
make[1]: *** [configure-gdb] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gdb-7.4'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Confirming it is a regression.

Is the bug fixed ? I am still getting the error 'Build regression: makeinfo required' on a Linux 3.0.0-17 i386 machine. Thanks.
