confNO_MAN_INSTALL
Prevent installation of manuals Build macro
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.
