man -l hello.1 works and displays the manpage! (with OpenBSD 6.1). I wanted to learn roff, groff/troff, I based my code on the 2.7 example and will update to 2.10.
I seem to have a local Ubuntu 16.04 problem with manpages unrelated to GNU hello. I also thought that man hello would work after installing. > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Re: GNU hello > Local Time: August 12, 2017 10:22 PM > UTC Time: August 12, 2017 8:22 PM > From: [email protected] > To: Niklas Rosencrantz <[email protected]> > [email protected] <[email protected]>, Johan Petersson <[email protected]>, > jorgenbang <[email protected]> > > On 12 August 2017 at 21:18, Niklas Rosencrantz <[email protected]> wrote: >> I tried both 2.7 and 2.10 and both with Ubuntu 16.04 and OpenBSD 6.1. >> >> Everything works but the manpage is empty or none. > > Your build of 2.7 seems to have an error, but your 2.10 build looks OK. > > I just built and installed current git on Ubuntu 16.04, and that worked fine. > > Is hello.1 in your build directory OK?
