            Bug ID: 216602
           Summary: The build system requires the bsd compat libraries
                    even if only installing man pages
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: pierre.labastie@neuf.fr
        Regression: No

In version 6.0, Makefile unconditionally includes lib/build-src.mk, which
itself unconditionally runs "pkg-config" to search libbsd-overlay. This
generates spurious messages if this library is not installed, while this
library is not needed if only installing the man pages on the system.

Note: I'm one of the linuxfromscratch editors, and we install the man pages
early in the process.

Hi Pierre!

Thanks!  I was worried about it but didn't know what to do.  I've fixed now:

<https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/commit/?id=8f97613a490f5b5bdb1156f4572424771e051020>

<https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/commit/?id=34caa7cd4d50f4ab306c18d5fc07c5619f237aea>

I'll release 6.01 soon with this fix, since it's important enough.  I would
release 6.00.1, but I prefer releasing some recent changes that deserve a new
release.
