Name
confNO_MAN_INSTALL
Synopsis
The confNO_MAN_INSTALL
macro prevents
Build from installing manual pages. In a shared
environment one might not want to install manuals. In that situation,
it is preferable to install manuals once, in a central location,
rather than installing them for each new machine that is later
brought up. For example, the first machine’s
m4 build file might contain this:
define(`confMANROOT', `/usr/local/man/cat')
Then, the m4 build files for all future machines might contain this:
define(`confNO_MAN_BUILD') define(`confNO_MAN_INSTALL')
Here, the first line prevents the formatted manuals from being created. The second line prevents the nonexistent manuals from being installed.
