I don't need to have the ability to generate HTML with makeinfo on my
system (Trisquel 7).

I haven't tried dvi, but I did try html which is what I'm interested
in at the moment:

Here's the output:

$ ./build docs html
Writing manual: docs/manual/libreboot_html-by-node...
./resources/scripts/helpers/build/docs/html: 21:
./resources/scripts/helpers/build/docs/html: makeinfo: not found
$ apt-cache search makeinfo
texi2html - Convert Texinfo files to HTML
$ sudo apt-get install texi2html
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
texi2html is already the newest version.
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer
required:
  libhttp-date-perl
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 43 not upgraded.
$

Can you test this and get everything working in Trisquel (for all
scripts, but the html ones are priority at present)?
Dependencies that must be installed (from standard Trisquel
installation) should be added to
resources/scripts/helpers/build/dependencies/trisquel7

It looks here like it might be necessary to integrate makeinfo as src
in libreboot, and compile that, and then use that in the scripts, to
make sure that the user can properly generate the documents.
