I think everyone who's asked about it is a packager, because they have build scripts that expect `install` to install one set of things, and `install-docs` to install another set.

It's actually just fine that docs get built and installed by default, so no worries there. The last remaining piece of the puzzle is that the man page doesn't seem to get built any more either, at least not as of the current HEAD that I have locally (which I just pulled). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3662#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler___ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs

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.
