All,
I'm working on this bug report (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?36903) where
configure does not check for the presence of makeinfo. makeinfo is
required during the build if you want to create any documentation.
However, it is also a runtime dependency for reading the documentation.
Even if we package a tar ball with all the documentation pre-built, the end
user will still need makeinfo to make use of it. I'm, therefore, leaning
towards requiring makeinfo at configure time. Note that this is only about
makeinfo, not a full Texinfo install with texi2pdf, etc. Attached is a
proposed patch. Are there any comments?
