A full log of what happens when I follow the steps to reproduce on my system
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a terminal.
2. Make sure that you have a copy of the man-pages repository on your system.
3. Change directory into the root of the repository by running this command:
cd <path to repository>
4. (Optional) Make sure that you’re using the same set of dependencies that I
used when I tried building man-pages by doing the following:
A. Make sure that the Nix package manager is installed by running this
command:
nix-env --version
If that command finishes successfully, then Nix is installed. If
that command gives you an error, then you need to install Nix.
B. Activate a dev shell that contains all of the dependencies for
building man-pages by running this command:
nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' develop
'git+https://codeberg.org/JasonYundt/flake-for-working-on-man-pages.git?ref=refs/heads/main&rev=d3e76acfbb2f036aa9215e930b624f80813b7f3e'
5. (Optional) Switch to a revision of man-pages that is known to have this
problem by running this command:
git switch --detach a12be0058be628f50da69fb0efb2ed9b4422a699
6. Attempt to build the “build-pdf-pages-troff” target by running this command:
make -R build-pdf-pages-troff
When I follow those steps to reproduce on my system, the build fails with these
errors:
> .tmp/man/man4/console_codes.4:420: warning: table row does not fit on page 5
> .tmp/man/man4/console_codes.4:778: warning: table row does not fit on page 9
> make: ***
> [/home/jayman/Documents/Home/VC/space_afraid/Git/partially_mine/man-pages/Repo/share/mk/build/pdf/pages/troff.mk:30:
> .tmp/man/man4/console_codes.4.pdf.set] Error 1
> make: *** Deleting file '.tmp/man/man4/console_codes.4.pdf.set'
