Greetings,
Another couple of questions, yes I know, there have been a few already ;-)
I'm have been investigating manual page systems, and with multiple
systems on the same hosts, I didn't want any conflicts.
So I added to 'configure.local', some new variables: PROGRAM_PREFIX
and PROGRAM_SUFFIX, and defined the BINM_* and MANM_* variables in
terms of these variables. See the configure.local at the end of this
email.
Question: Could such behavior be the default? By this I mean the use
of the variables like PROGRAM_PREFIX and PROGRAM_SUFFIX in the default
computations in 'configure', but with 'configure.local', still
allowing other users to make personal overrides. Of course, both
variables should default to the empty string. Just asking :-)
On installation with the above in use, I noticed that soelim(1) is
installed without a requested prefix (and suffix) from BINM_SOELIM
(see the output of the find command below). The same is true of the
soelim manual page. And although 'config.h' defines 'BINM_SOELIM'
correctly (based on configure.local), nothing uses this definition.
It is even documented in configure.local.example, that BINM_SOELIM is
the name of the soelim command. Interestingly, in a recursive
case-insensitive search of the source code for "soelim", I could not
determine how man(1) invokes soelim(1), or tells a *roff
implementation to invokes its variant of soelim(1) (but I didn't look
very hard).
Also, the tbl.3 manual page is installed without a prefix or suffix.
Additionally, the 'install' pseudo-target creates
"${INSTALLATION_PREFIX}/share/examples/mandoc", but does not install
any example files into it. Question: Is it an obsolete directory or do
other packages expect this directory to exist? (and, if so, why)
