(In the source directory)
mkdir obj
cd obj
../configure --prefix=/opt/gnu
I've tried
make
make bootstrap
gmake
gmake bootstrap
(with make clean or gmake clean in between). These all fail with
WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if
you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious
call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site.
The bootstrap variants take a lot longer to get to this point, but I
believe it's always associated with fastjar.
