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 127Stop in /usr/ports/devel/m4.
*** Error code 1Stop in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf262.
*** Error code 1Stop 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

It didn`t help. I dont know why, maybe I should upgrade my system (freebsd 5.4)?
This problem is specific to jail (VPS) configuration and FreeBSD 7.
Hi,
In FreeBSD 7.x, this problem occurs when writing WITHOUT_INFO=yes writing in src.conf. If this occurs, you pull out this line from your src.conf, then make follows;
# cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
# make obj && make depend && make && make install
Also for jails
# make install DESTDIR=/your/jail/path
Later on, you install your ports as you wish.
regards.
install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 makeinfo /usr/bin
install: makeinfo: No such file or directory
*** Error code 71
Stop in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo/makeinfo.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
First do a make in the /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo directory before doing make install DESTDIR=/your/jail/path
