The code as it currently is doesn't make too much sense
(try_without_dir could be totally abolished), but the change
from
try_without_dir=true
to
try_without_dir=flase
was intentional: The reason was we want the complete path
to pod2man, not just the string 'pod2man'.
The reason for this is that the top-level Makefile calls pod2man
indirectly, via perl:
@pod2man=`cd util; ./pod2mantest ignore`; \
for i in doc/apps/*.pod; do \
fn=`basename $$i .pod`; \
if [ $$fn = config ]; then sec=5; else sec=1; fi; \
echo installing man$$sec/`basename $$i .pod`.$$sec; \
(cd `$(PERL) util/dirname.pl $$i`; \
sh -c $(PERL) $$pod2man \
^
--section=$$sec --center=OpenSSL \
--release=$(VERSION) `basename $$i`) \
$(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(MANDIR)/man$$sec/`basename $$i
.pod`.$$sec; \
done; \
This does not make much sense, though -- if pod2mantest manages to run
.../pod2man directly, why call 'perl .../pod2man' instead?
The one case where $(PERL) is really needed in the invocation of
pod2man is when pod2mantest has not found a working pod2man (in this
case util/pod2man.pl is used instead, and it may not be able
to find the correct version of perl).
I think this should be resolved as follows:
- Switch back to try_without_dir=true
- Don't explicitly invoke $(PERL) in the Makefile when running pod2man
- but give util/pod2mantest an argument so that it can point to perl if needed.
