Re: [Samba] Installing manpages
Hi, I'm working on Ubuntu 12.04, and compiling from the git source. I created the html version of the manuals like this (my samba-master tree is ~/samba-master). sudo apt-get install docbook-utils xsltproc cd ~/samba-master/docs-xml cp Makefile.settings.in Makefile.settings I edited Makefile.settings, and changed 2 lines: XSLTPROC = xsltproc # was @XSLTPROC@ . . . OUTPUTDIR = /usr/local/samba/share # was output sudo make htmlman sudo make manpages This creates /usr/local/samba/share/htmldocs/manpages/index.html and many other pages in that same directory. It also creates /usr/local/samba/share/manpages. I can get at the html files using the browser. I haven't had success accessing the manpages using the man system yet.

Re: [Samba] Installing manpages
I recently crossed this path as well. My experience was slightly different. I installed xsltproc and docbook, but I did not have to do a 'make manpages', they just compiled with everything else and installed them at /usr/local/samba/share. I then configured the man system in /etc/manpath.config by adding a line like: MANDATORY_MANPATH /usr/local/samba/share/man The best information I found on the web about that was an irc log of a conversation on one of the #samba* channels. -- Computerisms Bob Miller 867-334-7117 / 867-633-3760 http://computerisms.ca On Thu, 2012-12-20 at 13:25 -0500, E M wrote: Hi, I'm working on Ubuntu 12.04, and compiling from the git source.

Re: [Samba] Installing manpages
Wow, this is a PITA. Googling for that error didn't reveal anything helpful. I had the exact same problem. Plus, all my attempts at producing a .rpm package failed because the provided .spec template has serious problems, namely with the... man pages. Or maybe the flaw is with me, since I don't know how to write a samba.spec from scratch?
