Sometimes in the early days of FreeBSD 5.1 I stopped accidentially a 'make world' and since then I can not recompile a 'world' without this error message. The Only way to stop this and recompile a world is to disable building shared docs by commenting out #NO_SHAREDOCS= true # do not build the 4.4BSD legacy docs in /etc/make.conf. I searched google for this problem and I was told to rebuild groff and other stuff, but that was for the old 4.X days. There is also a solution mentioned setting environment variables (I forgot which ones). Can someone help, please? I would like to build the man pages and do an 'make world' with shared docs enabled. Lots of thanks in advance, Oliver groff: can't find `DESC' file groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii' ===> share/doc/usd/13.viref sed -e 's:^\.so index.so$:&.\\*[.T]:' /usr/src/share/doc/usd/13.viref/../../../. ./contrib/nvi/docs/USD.doc/vi.ref/vi.ref > vi.ref-patched sed -e 's:^\.so index\.so\.\\\*\[\.T\]$::' vi.ref-patched | groff -Tascii -U -I /usr/src/share/doc/usd/13.viref/../../../../contrib/nvi/docs/USD.doc/vi.ref -t - mtty-char -me -o1- -U -z groff: can't find `DESC' file groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii' *** Error code 3 Stop in /usr/src/share/doc/usd/13.viref. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/share/doc/usd. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/share/doc. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/share. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 -- MfG O.
