makeinfo: not found

I clone the repo, and follow the instructions in http://zipcpu.com/zipcpu/2018/01/31/cpu-build.html. Essentially, I install all the prerequisites and type make.

The build stops with the error:

zipcpu/sw/binutils-2.27-zip/missing: 81: makeinfo: not found

I'm running on Linux Mint 19.3 (an Ubuntu variant).

The solution I used was to:

sudo apt install texinfo

[ZipCPU]

Are you suggesting I should add texinfo to the list of required dependencies? I should be able to do that without much hassle.

Yes, I think that would be a good idea. For some configurations it may not be necessary, but it caught me by surprise, and adding it to the required dependencies would be helpful to new users.

"sudo apt install texinfo" is missing in the required dependencies section, requesting @ZipCPU to update

[ZipCPU]

I've updated the dependencies to make this dependency more noticeable. Please check the INSTALL.md instructions, and see if the notice there would now be sufficient for you.

Thank you it's updated in INSTALL.md , if possible can you please also update in the blog "https://zipcpu.com/zipcpu/2018/01/31/cpu-build.html"

[ZipCPU]

Should be fixed now. Thank you!
