#3662: Don't know how to install documentation
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
Reporter: bos | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Compiler
Version: 6.12.1 RC1 | Severity: blocker
Keywords: | Testcase:
Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
Following the changes to the build system that got merged in earlier this
year, it's no longer obvious (or documented, as far as I can tell) how to
either build or install documentation.
The procedure that used to work for 6.10 was {{{make install-docs}}}, but
the {{{Makefile}}}s in the {{{docs}}} and {{{docs/man}}} directories have
bit-rotted, and the {{{install-docs}}} target has vanished from the top-
level {{{Makefile}}} too.
If I knew how to build the documentation, I'd send in a patch, as I think
it's important that this be fixed before 6.12.1 goes final, so that
platform packagers like myself can figure out how to easily build and
install the documentation. Unfortunately, I'm not even sure what needs
fixing in the new build world.
