[Ltib] Building ltib fails on Ubuntu 09.10 and 10.04 Beta 1 (because of texinfo)

[Franz Trierweiler]

Hi,

Last year, I reported issues about building ltib on Ubuntu 09.10 (it works fine 
on 09.04 hopefully) because of texinfo. Since I had to go on the project, I 
delayed the investigation on this and went on with my 09.04 host. In december, 
Freescale issued a new PDK for the i.MX25 (L2.6.31_09.12.00_SDK_source.tar.gz). 
I naively thought that this new PDK would build fine on the newest Ubuntu 
versions.

I know that this mailing list is not for Freescale-specific PDKs but I would 
like to get your opinion (In //, I posted the issue on Freescale official 
support and I am waiting for an answert). I dug more deeply into the 
host_config.log file and found out that texinfo build fails as follows:

+ make
make  all-recursive

Failed building texinfo

Well, I tried to search in texinfo Makefile what's wrong but I must admit that 
the all-recursive is really obscure to me:

all: config.h
        $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) all-recursive

Thus make implicitly call make all and then calls all-recursive...

In the Makefile, all-recursive appears only in:
RECURSIVE_TARGETS = all-recursive check-recursive dvi-recursive \
        html-recursive info-recursive install-data-recursive \
        install-exec-recursive install-info-recursive \
        install-recursive installcheck-recursive installdirs-recursive \
        pdf-recursive ps-recursive uninstall-info-recursive \
        uninstall-recursive

Thus, I believe to understand that make cannot run since it does not find any 
"all-recursive:" entry???

Does anyone understand this issue (or has already faced this issue)?

Regards,
Franz
