I am trying to just build and install some documentation and manual pages
without having to do complete builds (like without "make World").
But my man pages are not getting pre-processed. For example, information
like __miscmansuffix__, __projectroot__, and __vendorversion__ are not
replaced.
I read in xc/config/cf/Imake.rules about PreprocessManPages and the
CppManTarget. But I am not sure how they are used.
I tried:
#define PreprocessManPages YES
#define DontPreprocessManPages NO
in a host.def file that I placed at xc/doc/host.def.
I don't want to build imake or any of the binaries (because they are
already installed with their correlating manpages). I just want to install
files like:
lib/X11/doc/DPMS.TXT
lib/X11/doc/PostScript/RELNOTES-X.org.PS
lib/X11/doc/PostScript/shape.PS
man/man3/GLwDrawingAreaSwapBuffers.3x
man/man3/XChangeWindowAttributes.3x
man/man3/XQueryColor.3x
man/man7/X.7
man/man7/Xsecurity.7
et cetera
I do not want to install any man pages related to servers or X clients (no
twm man page for example).
Also, my X, X.org, XConsortium, XProjectTeam, XStandards, and Xsecurity
are defaulting to .7 suffix. I believe this is wrong. On my platform
(Linux) this should be .7x.
This is what I am doing:
extract X430src-1.tgz X430src-6.tgz X430src-7.tgz (but I don't think
X430src-7.tgz is used nor installed only that the "hardcopy" directory is
referenced).
Patch xc/doc/specs/programs/Imakefile so it doesn't reference any
"/programs/" file (so it only does "doc/man/general/" manual pages).
cp host.def to xc/doc; this is:
#define BuildMiscDocs YES
#define BuildSpecsDocs YES
#define BuildLinuxDocPS NO
#define InstallHardcopyDocs YES <-- this doesn't appear to be used
#define BuildXdoc YES
#define PreprocessManPages YES
#define DontPreprocessManPages NO
cd xc/doc
${IMAKE} -DUseInstalled -I. -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config \
-DTOPDIR=my/path/to/xc -DCURDIR=.; \
${MAKE} Makefiles ; \
${MAKE} includes ; \
${MAKE} depend
cd xc/doc/man && \
${IMAKE} -DUseInstalled -I. -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config \
-DTOPDIR=my/path/to/xc -DCURDIR=. && \
${MAKE} Makefiles && \
${MAKE} includes && \
${MAKE} depend
cd xc/doc
make all
cd xc/doc
make install.man
Can anyone share some steps on how to get the man pages preprocessed so
directives like __miscmansuffix__, __projectroot__, and __vendorversion__
are replaced correctly?
Thank you,
