Hello everybody,
trying to make a slackbuild script for Slackware 13.0 I encountered a problem.
* Short description: "make install" does not copy the man pages into
the destination directory. This applies to postgis 1.4.0 as well as to
1.4.1.SVN trunk.
* Long description: I do the following (step by step):
1a) configure --prefix=/usr
which runs without any problem, just complaining it is not able to
find any XSL-template of the docbook system. Having on mind this could
be the reason why, later on, make gives up to do anything with man
pages I tried also
1b) configure --prefix=/usr
--with-xsldir=/usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.75.1
in which case configure runs without complaints.
2) make
runs without any problem
3) make install DESTDIR=/tmp/SBo/package-postgis
runs also without complaints, but in the end, there are no man pages
in the sub-directories of $(DESTDIR). Moreover, during both runs of
"make" the directory with documentation is _never_ entered.
* Now the question: is it my mistake, an intentional behavior or a
bug? It is not a big problem anyway, within the slackbuild script I
can fix the problem easily. On the other hand, it could turn out that
such a fix is not the kosher way to go.
Thanks
Peter
Hi Peter,
The short version of this is that I think due to changes being made at
the time, it was felt that due to the large number of dependencies
required for the documentation then it should remain a separate target.
However, a manual "make install" in the docs/ directory should attempt
to put things in the right place for you - if it doesn't, then please
let us know.
ATB,
Mark.
