While this will work, it is suboptimal.  The steps really are

	-1. Install TeX and a dvi-to-whatever translater.
	 0. Copy texinfo.tex from....
	 1. Compile texindex.c from the gnu emacs distribution and
	    put it into your path somewhere.
	 2. tex make.texinfo
	 3. texindex make.??
	 4. tex make.texinfo
	 [ Optional:
	    texindex make.??
	    tex make.texinfo
	 ]
	 5. dvi-to-whatever make.dvi and print

The texindex program fixes up all the cross references in the documentation.
You want to do it several times since the fixed text formats differently
than the unfixed text, so page numbers can change between the first and
subsequent runs of TeX.  This can be painful on large documents on slow
machines, but is worthwhile if you really want the cross references
to be right.
