If you receive the makeinfo: not found error while trying to build or install software on a FreeBSD system, it means that the makeinfo program is not installed on your system.
makeinfo is a utility that is part of the GNU Texinfo package and is used to generate Info documentation from Texinfo source files. It is often used in software build processes to generate documentation from source code.
To fix the makeinfo: not found error, you will need to install the GNU Texinfo package on your FreeBSD system.
To install the GNU Texinfo package on FreeBSD, you will need to do the following:
# pkg update
texinfo package using the pkg package manager:# pkg install texinfo
This will install the GNU Texinfo package on your FreeBSD system, including the makeinfo utility.
Once the GNU Texinfo package is installed, you should be able to run the makeinfo command and it should no longer give the makeinfo: not found error.
For more information about using and configuring the GNU Texinfo package on a FreeBSD system, you can refer to the Texinfo documentation and the makeinfo man page by running man makeinfo on the command line.
