|
These three patches comment out one of the lines in the
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>man.conf</filename> file (MANPATH /usr/man) because it will create
|
|
|
|
|
redundant results when using programs like <userinput>whatis</userinput>.
|
|
|
|
|
It also adds the <emphasis>-R</emphasis> option to the
|
|
|
|
|
<emphasis>PAGER</emphasis> variable so man pages are displayed properly.
|
|
|
|
|
Lastly, the patch fixes the problem where man pages are not formatted with
|
|
|
|
|
more than 80 columns when used with the recent groff versions.</para>

<para><userinput>PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin:/bin ./configure -default</userinput>:
|
|
|
|
|
The paths to some programs get written into man's files. Unfortunately, the
|
|
|
|
|
configure script picks the last location in PATH rather than the first
|
|
|
|
|
where a program is found. By appending /usr/bin:/bin to PATH for the
|
|
|
|
|
./configure command, we make sure that man doesn't use the /static versions
|
|
|
|
|
of our programs.</para>
