Hi Deri, I tried generating a PDF book from the Unix v10 manual pages, and found some issues with the Perl script. I don't understand Perl, as you know, so I don't know what to do. I've attached a tarball with the manual pages that I'm trying to handle. They're slightly modified V10 files, in order to make them slightly more conventional (e.g., the =.1 page is now called eq.1, and the manx/ dir and other dirs than didn't have a digit in their names are now divided into dirs that have one digit after the name (e.g., man1x/, ...)). The command I'm trying to run is: $ make -R build-pdf-book MANDIR=~/Downloads/unix/man/ (Of course, replace that path with wherever you untar the tarball.) The error I see is a forever loop (or so it seems) with the following error line: Use of uninitialized value $v in exists at /srv/alx/src/linux/man-pages/man-pages/contrib/share/mk/build/pdf/book/prepare.pl line 67. Would you mind having a look at it? In case it matters: alx@devuan:~$ groff --version GNU groff version 1.23.0.2695-49927 Copyright (C) 1989-2023 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
