Yup. $ pwd /home/alx/src/linux/man-pages/man-pages/6.04/scripts/LinuxManBook $ ./BuildLinuxMan.pl ../../ [...] Failed to open 'DESC' > > When I run the script/LinuxManBook/BuildLinuxMan.pl, after applying the gropdf > patch, manually in the build dir, I get a pdf, but without any man page footers. Hmm, that's weird. After applying your patch, It works fine for me. I do see the page footers. However, I have old builds of groff in my system, which I haven't cleaned up, so maybe they interfere positively to that outcome. Maybe from a clean installation of Debian Sid I wouldn't be able to reproduce that. Nevertheless, now I remember Deri told me he hardcoded a lot of stuff for 1.22.4 which should be removed after the release of 1.23.0, so it seems that the time has come to chop a lot of stuff from there. Deri, would you mind simplifying the scripts assuming a Build-dep of groff(>=1.23.0)? > > Are there any other scripts which need to be run and/or groff commands or data > which need to be supplied? No. It's just: $ cd scripts/LinuxManBook/ $ ./BuildLinuxMan.pl ../../ > > It would be nice to see this eventually added to your RELEASE doc, and maybe > also to the make scripts. Yes. I first want to put it in the Makefiles, and then add it to INSTALL. Then something to RELEASE. But I first want to simplify the script so I can understand it.
