Thank you for putting this together, Wes; I'm sorry I didn't have the time before I left. I think you missed a dependency, tho: Index: Makefile.in =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/net-snmp/net-snmp/man/Makefile.in,v retrieving revision 5.27 diff -u -p -r5.27 Makefile.in --- Makefile.in 2 Dec 2005 15:33:42 -0000 5.27 +++ Makefile.in 26 Oct 2006 23:26:49 -0000 @@ -185,6 +231,8 @@ maninstall:  maninstalldirs $(MAN1) $(MA   @for i in $(MAN3) ; do $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/$$i $(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(man3dir) ; echo "install:  installed $$i in $(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(man3dir)" ; done   @$(INSTALL_DATA) $(MAN3G) $(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(man3dir)   @for i in $(MAN3G) ; do echo "install:  installed $$i in $(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(man3dir)" ; done + @$(INSTALL_DATA) $(MANALIASES) $(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(man3dir) + @for i in $(MANALIASES) ; do echo "install:  installed $$i in $(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(man3dir)" ; done   [EMAIL PROTECTED](INSTALL_DATA) $(MAN5G) $(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(man5dir)   @for i in $(MAN5G) ; do echo "install:  installed $$i in $(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(man5dir)" ; done   @$(INSTALL_DATA) $(MAN8G) $(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(man8dir) Whatever the "maninstall" target is dependent upon the individual man pages, but not the aliases. I recommend adding "manaliases" as a dependency until such time as we can clean it up and use a more direct creation method, i.e $(SNMP_ALARM_ALIASES): man3/snmp_alarm.3 echo "making man page alias $@ from snmp_alarm APIs" echo ".so man3/snmp_alarm.3" > $@ --chris net-snmp-owners at group.apple.com
