Subject: Options to avoid docs generation/installation
Date: Sun, 21 May 2017 03:56:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170521025604.GA8068@csmail.ucc.ie> (raw)
Hi,
The INSTALL file says that docs are not built by default, but that's not my
experience. "make all" results in the generation of several Perl man pages,
e.g. "Git.3pm". Is it the case that the behaviour documented is not
propagated to the perl subdir?
Also, setting --mandir=/dev/null still results in the pages being installed
in their usual location (at least in combination with setting --prefix to
avoid disturbing my production git installation).
Regards,
Neil
