*man-1.5f*
--------
- what is it?
- Program for displaying man-pages on the screen or sending them
to a printer (using groff). Includes whatis, apropos and man2html,
which compiles but wasn't tried.
- To install the binaries
- go to ftp://ftp.franken.de , get and untar in /
/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Humblet_Pierre_A/B20
man-1.5f-cygwin-b20-bin.tar.gz
- You must also get and untar in /
/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/B20
groff-1.10-cygwin-b20-bin.tar.gz
- Edit /usr/local/lib/man.conf [** used to be man.config **]
to suit your site.
If man gives you funny looking hyphens, replace the NROFF line with
NROFF /usr/local/bin/nroff -mandoc (!!it's nroff, not groff)
- Execute "man -w" to examine the effective MANPATH. Duplicates
(with different cases) may appear. They can be avoided by
editing man.conf and/or PATH and/or MANPATH.
- Execute ./makewhatis -w in /usr/local/sbin to build the
whatis database for apropos and whatis.
What follows is information to recompile the entire package or complete
the man2html tool suite.
- system
- Windows 95
- Cygwin
- for B20
- binary mounts only
- CYGWIN=tty
- preliminaries
- get the source packages
- man-1.5f.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux/util/man/
- edit src/makewhatis.sh
- on line 30 change PATH=/usr/bin:/bin to /bin:/usr/local/bin
146, change /usr/bin/gawk to /bin/gawk (or whatever)
- edit src/defs.h
- add #include <unistd.h>
- edit man2html/Makefile.in
- on line 9 change /usr/bin to /usr/local/bin (or whatever)
- configure
- edit configure on lines 508 & 511
- change "prefix=/usr" to "prefix=/usr/local" (or whatever)
- run CC="gcc -DNONLS -DLC_MESSAGES=6" ./configure -d +traditional
(thanks to David Coe)
- make
- works without changes
- make install
- works without changes
- package availability
- on ftp.franken.de
- in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Humblet_Pierre_A/B20
- as man-1.5f-cygwin-b20-bin.tar.gz
