texinfo / makeinfo 4.11 breaks buildroot

[Terry Kemp-2]

buildroot dies with message...

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.

I have makeinfo...
]$ makeinfo --version
makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.11

apparently the test sees 4.11 as older than 4.4. see
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-09/msg01271.html
for similar issue.

Can someone let me know where to apply this solution in buildroot

Thanks

OK.. this (kinda) fixes binutils problem, stick into...

See: http://docswiki.gumstix.com/Buildroot#Troubleshooting

If you added makeinfo after the configure for binutils was run then it
won't see the new makeinfo until you do the rm -rf mentioned in the
above link.

Thanks - but I did check this out.
Although I am still waiting for my first Gumstixs to arrive :( I have
been playing with buildroot and OE builds on i686 and x86_64 for a month
or so.

No the problem is that - with at least for now Fedora 7, and eventually
other distros - texinfo was (just now) updated to version 4.11.
binutils v1.7 and 1.8 and gcc etc have 'broken' regexp lines in the
config that don't check versions > x.9 properly.
 
This is not a bug in texinfo, but in binutils et al configure files,
which assumes that texinfo 4.11 is older than texinfo 4.4.

Buildroot will fail on an 'abstract' error 2 when building with make -j3
(or jobs = 3 in menuconfig) because the _actual error_ (binutils build)
is buried 3 pages up by another job that is finishing.

Unless your Linux distro goes straight to texinfo 5.x instead of > 4.10,
assuming you update your system, then this will probably affect everyone
using buildroot - eventually.  

attached is a patch for binutils-2.17.50.0.6 to be placed in...
gumstix-buildroot/toolchain/binutils/2.17.50.0.6
A similar patch would apply to other versions if used.

Hello, sorry to dredge up this old patch, but it seems to not be working for me.  I copied the attachment and replaced "configure.patch" in gumstix-buildroot/toolchain/binutils/2.17.50.0.6 with it.
I am using revision 1614 on Hardy Heron.
I only get "makeinfo missing" If I try and compile in java support.  I have a successful c++ enabled fileystem, however when I add the options:

- Build/install java compiler and libgcj
- classpath
- jamvm
- zlib headers in target

to the configuration via "make menuconfig" in the gumstix-buildroot directory, i still get the missing makeinfo error:

    for f in fastjar.info fastjar.info-[0-9] fastjar.info-[0-9][0-9] fastjar.i[0-9] fastjar.i[0-9][0-9]; do \

    done; \

    then \
      rc=0; \
    else \
      rc=$?; \
      $restore $backupdir/* `echo "./fastjar.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; \
    fi; \
    rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc

I have tried editing configure.in directly (in gumstix-buildroot/toolchain_build_arm_nofpu/binutils-2.17.50.0.6/, but that just leads to problems because it starts messing up other patches somehow.

Does anyone have any ideas or need more info?
Thanks in advance

I have a question, I am trying to bitbake some packages jamvm & classapth,

 

I am getting a compiler not found when trying to bitbake classpath  - both javac and ecj are both in the path.

I can notice that when it compiles (javac) -version -warn options are added  /usr/bin/javac -1.5 -warn:- and its wrong!!!  | javac: invalid flag: -1.5  but how can I remove it? I've been looking in gen-classlist.sh but I can not see anything

Please help!!
