[Gnewsense-dev] gnu-doc package: failing to build glibc-2.7 info files

[Christophe Jarry]

Dear developers,

To complete gnu-doc package, I need to build GLIBC documentation in
info format. I downloaded glibc-2.7.tar.bz2 and glibc-ports-2.7.tar.bz2
sources from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/. Then:

 tar -xjf glibc-2.7.tar.bz2
 tar -xjf glibc-ports-2.7.tar.bz2
 mv glibc-ports-2.7 glibc-2.7/ports
 mkdir glibc-build
 cd glibc-build

I tried two methods to build documentation:

- Using makeinfo:

   makeinfo ../glibc-2.7/manual/libc.texinfo -I../glibc-2.7/manual/*

  gives me the errors in the attachement named "glibc-makeinfo-error".

- Using configure + make install-info:

   ../glibc-2.7/configure

  gives me the error in the attachement named "glibc-configure-error".
  The attachement named "config.log" is the one mentioned in
  "glibc-configure-error".

Any information to solve this is welcome.

Thanks.

Christophe
