cross-compile binutils build errors

[axel magnuson]

Hello all,

This is my first CLFS, and I'm ashamed to say I didn't make it very far.

I'm using ubuntu 8.10 64-bit ed. as my host system

working off of CLFS 1.1.0

I have a intel core 2 duo 8300 (Wolfdale) processor

here are the contents of my ~/.bashrc:

set +h
umask 022
CLFS=/mnt/clfs
LC_ALL=POSIX
PATH=/cross-tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
export CLFS LC_ALL PATH
unset CFLAGS
unset CXXFLAGS
export BUILD64="-m64"
alias 'ls=ls -l'
export CLFS_HOST="x86_64-cross-linux-gnu"
export CLFS_TARGET="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"


I followed all of the instructions to the letter with no odd results up to section 5 where I compile binutils 2.18 .  The patches seemed to apply correctly, as did the compilation (which I copy-pasted from the book), and the make configure-host.  However, when it came time to make, I got the following error:

config.status: creating po/Makefile.in
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands
config.status: executing default-1 commands
config.status: executing bfd_stdint.h commands
config.status: executing default commands
make[3]: Leaving directory `/mnt/clfs/sources/binutils-build/bfd/po'

make[3]: Leaving directory `/mnt/clfs/sources/binutils-build/bfd/po'
make[3]: Entering directory `/mnt/clfs/sources/binutils-build/bfd'
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `info-am'.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/mnt/clfs/sources/binutils-build/bfd'
make[2]: *** [info-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/clfs/sources/binutils-build/bfd'
make[1]: *** [all-bfd] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/clfs/sources/binutils-build'
make: *** [all] Error 2


I haven't the slightest what's going on.

Please, any help is greatly appreciated.

Your host system is missing makeinfo from the texinfo package. Note that
the error is above the clip that you pasted. What gives it away is
"make[2]: *** [info-recursive] Error 1".
