What a terrible waste of effort! Please read the file readme.djg in the Texinfo distribution (it's included in both source and binary zip files), and you will learn that the DJGPP port of Info already has the -b (or --speech-friendly) option which makes it use stdio functions instead of direct screen writes. This option was introduced (courtesy of Hans-Bernhard Broeker) specifically to make Info work with speech synthesizers. > as the make 3.75 program trying > to make libtxi.a and failing.

Something is clearly wrong with your system setup, if all these programs fail to build. If you want to investigate this further, please redirect stdout and stderr of Make to a file and post here everything that you catch there. For example: cd gnu\texinfo3.9 redir -o make.log -eo make Then post the contents of the file `make.log' thus created.
