Gets you very close. make MAKEINFO=/bin/true install then fails at the point where it tries to access manual/glibc.info* as the target for a copy or move, because no Info files have been generated. If, as I did, you then think to simply touch manual/glibc.info so as to have something to access at that point, you then fail when the install-info target runs, because the manual/glibc.info file is empty and install-info doesn't like that. You can avoid that by echoing something into manual/glibc.info ahead of the make MAKEINFO=/bin/true install For example, something akin to the firstline of most info files $ echo "This is glibc.info, produced by makeinfo version from glibc.texi" > manual/glibc.info $ make MAKEINFO=/bin/true install ... That seemed to do the trick - thanks for the pointer to the start of the path.
