Freebsd makeinfo: not found Error and Solution

Q. I'm trying to build PHP5 under FreeBSD jail and I'm getting an error that read as follows:

m4.info-[0-9][0-9] ./m4.i[0-9] ./m4.i[0-9][0-9]; do if test -f $f; then mv $f $backupdir; restore=mv; else :; fi; done; else :; fi && cd "$am__cwd"; if makeinfo --no-split -I . -o ./m4.info ./m4.texinfo; then rc=0; cd .; else rc=$?; cd . && $restore $backupdir/* `echo "././m4.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; fi; rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc
makeinfo: not found
*** Error code 127

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/m4.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf262.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/lang/php5.
*** Error code 1

How do I get rid of this problem and compile applications?

A. This error only occurs if following line added to /etc/make.conf file before make world:

NO_INFO=       true    # do not make or install info files

To get rid of this problem remove above line. Next, go to /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo and type the following command to install required files:
# cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
To install all tools to / , enter:
# make install
To install all tools to jail, enter:
# make install DESTDIR=/path/to/jail/example.com
Now, you should able to compile ports. Read the following man pages for more information:
man ports, make, make.conf
