>Description:
During build, the Makefile created, contains the following lines
to build the documentation:
[..]
docs/xv.$(MANNEWSUFFIX): docs/xv.$(MANSRCSUFFIX)
$(RM) $@
$(LN) docs/xv.$(MANSRCSUFFIX) $@
[..]
docs/bggen.$(MANNEWSUFFIX): docs/bggen.$(MANSRCSUFFIX)
$(RM) $@
$(LN) docs/bggen.$(MANSRCSUFFIX) $@
[..]
docs/xcmap.$(MANNEWSUFFIX): docs/xcmap.$(MANSRCSUFFIX)
$(RM) $@
$(LN) docs/xcmap.$(MANSRCSUFFIX) $@
[..]
docs/xvp2p.$(MANNEWSUFFIX): docs/xvp2p.$(MANSRCSUFFIX)
$(RM) $@
$(LN) docs/xvp2p.$(MANSRCSUFFIX) $@
[..]
docs/vdcomp.$(MANNEWSUFFIX): docs/vdcomp.$(MANSRCSUFFIX)
$(RM) $@
$(LN) docs/vdcomp.$(MANSRCSUFFIX) $@
[..]
The symlinks created there with the $(LN) line are all wrong
they result in a command like:
ln -s docs/xv.man docs/xv._man
which creates a link named 'xv._man' in the directory 'docs'
pointing to 'docs/xv.man' instead of 'xv.man'. As there is
no docs/docs/xv.man the file is not found, resulting in the following
error lines:
[..]
atrbg11:/usr/ports/graphics/xv#make build
===> Building for xv-3.10a_1
[..]
rm -f docs/xv._man
ln -s docs/xv.man docs/xv._man
rm -f xv.1.html xv.1-html
rman -f HTML < docs/xv._man > xv.1-html && mv -f xv.1-html xv.1.html
cannot open docs/xv._man: no such file
*** Error code 2
>How-To-Repeat:
try to build xv-3.10a_1 on 4.3-STABEL with freshly cvsupped ports
>Fix:
I've patched the created Makefile, by removing the leading
'docs' part on each of the symlink commands, then it went
straight through. But I don't know which part of xmkmf/imake/Imakefile
was responsible, so this is just an ugly workaround
