buildroot binutils-2.17 compile error

Hi everyone, I'm revisiting an old project and I have begun to rebuild buildroot. The build fails on binutils-2.17 with the following warning:

Code:

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.

but texinfo is installed on my system. I can invoke makeinfo from the command line so I know its in my path. Anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks, Matt.

I have the same problem! My host OS is Mandriva Linux 2007. Texinfo installed. I try to change buildroot configuration, but it not solve problem.

P.S. Sorry for my english.

Has anyone found a solution for this? I'm following the directions on linux4sam.org:

1) download buildroot
2) run make menuconfig (don't do anything just exit)
3) run sudo make > at91sam8260dfc.log 2>&1

I'm getting the exact same binutils errors as the OP.

Several of us are getting the same failure using bitbake and fedora 8. Has anyone been successful and what is your formula, please include version numbers.

I switched over to my othere machin the runs fedora 6: i386 2.6.22.14-72.fc6. And I can build the angstrom-minimal-image without errors or warnings. There appears to be a problem with the Fedora 8 in x86_64.

Tried to build the older recipes that are on the Linux4sam webstie with Fedora 8 and got the same bin-utils problem!

As a test I checked out the latest version of the OE system and looked at the available builds in the angstrom packages. Set the distro to 2008.1 and the machine to AT91SAM9263-EK and bitbaked the gpe package and it was successful, so my theory is old recipes and new linux just won't work. (specifically when it comes to the bin-utils 2.17 compile)

I'm trying to come up with a successful build on Fedora Core 6 that I had, we see if that will work.

I'll let you know if I have success.

Got past the error by adding the following to the local.conf

PREFERRED_VERSION_binutils-cross = "2.16"

At the time that the 2007.1 distro of Angstrom was built, it was recommended to use <2.17 of bin-utils.

Dump the tmp file and run bitbake again and you should make it past the cross compile of bin-utils

Hi all,

I have same problem on my Fedora Core 7.
I solved it add a patch for configure script of binutils-cross-2.17.50.0.5-r1:
1 - add org.openembedded.dev/packages/binutils/binutils-2.17.50.0.5/binutils-configure-texinfo-version.patch
2 - modify org.openembedded.dev/packages/binutils/binutils_2.17.50.0.5.bb
