This Bug is about Vars for the installation-dirs, I'm thinking about installation-process. Usually manpages are named in sources like "cmake.1" and are installed $mandir/1/cmake or most often $mandir/1/cmake.gz So I want to implement functionality to allow the dwevs to just give the place of manpage-sources and let cmake do all the steps: Rename from <appname>.<section> or <appname>.<lang>.<section> to <appname> compress to <appname>.gz (maybe configurable) install to $mandir/<section>/<appname>[.gz] or $mandir/<section>/<lang>/<appname>[.gz] If $mandir is given directly or configured in a var like your link describes doesn't matter in this case. I don't know about other systems like Linux, so maybe the process is different for other plattforms, but at least in Linux-systems it would be a great help. As I started porting amule to cmake I got stuck at exactly that point. Google just pointed out hits where the poster got told to look how others did it, but there's no generic solution. I would prefer to provide such a generic solution instead of reinventing the wheel for such a common task over and over again. -- MfG usw.
