Currently, in Makefiles all around we have statements like: DOC_PREFIX?= ../../.. I propose we change all of them to: DOC_PREFIX?= ${.CURDIR}/../../.. Also, we have a whole bunch of: .include "../../../share/sgml/docproj.docbook.mk" which I think should become: .include "${DOC_PREFIX}/share/sgml/docproj.docbook.mk" I'm not a make expert, but could we achieve it by: .PATH: ${DOC_PREFIX}/share/sgml .include "docproj.docbook.mk" That might make things easier for doc generation without the whole tree? In any case, I'll generate the patchset and send it in when I'm on my own time.
