How to solve `node `Installation' lacks menu item for XXX' in installing TRAMP for emacs?


I tried to install TRAMP2.4.1 for my emacs (26.1). I encountered this problem when I make

make[1]: Nothing to be done for all'. makeinfo --no-warn --no-split -D installchapter --footnote-style=end -o ../info/tramp tramp.texi ./trampinst.texi:9: nodeInstallation' lacks menu item for System Requirements' despite being its Up target ./trampinst.texi:9: nodeInstallation' lacks menu item for Basic Installation' despite being its Up target ./trampinst.texi:9: nodeInstallation' lacks menu item for Installation parameters' despite being its Up target ./trampinst.texi:9: nodeInstallation' lacks menu item for Testing' despite being its Up target ./trampinst.texi:9: nodeInstallation' lacks menu item for `Load paths' despite being its Up target make[1]: * [../info/tramp] Error 1 make: * [all] Error 2

How to solve this?


Solution

  • It's a bug. Either use the tramp that comes with Emacs 26.1, or if you have to have the bleeding edge, get it from its git repo. (See Obtaining Tramp.)
