Installing and uninstalling
|
|
===========================
|
|
"make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/local/share/man/man[1-8].
|
|
|
|
To install to a path different from /usr/local, use
|
|
"make install prefix=/install/path".
|
|
|
|
"make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this
|
|
distribution from its destination. Use with caution, and remember to
|
|
use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target.
|
|
|
|
To install only a specific man section (mandir) such as man3, use
|
|
"make install-man3". Similar syntax can be used to uninstall a
|
|
specific man section, such as man7: "make uninstall-man7".
|
|
|
|
"make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make
|
|
install".
|
|
|
|
Consider using multiple threads (at least 2) when installing
|
|
these man pages, as the Makefile is optimized for multiple threads:
|
|
"make -j install".
