Create manual page

[polluks]

Requires help2man, you may adjust install.

I habe no experience with help2man, but as far as I understand your solution requires help2man to be installed by the end user.

Would it make sense to install help2man in make, if the command does not exist.

I know what you mean, but a system dependent packaging tool, like apt install help2man, should not be part of a makefile. By the way it works pretty well for tek4010.

help2man has more dependencies than tek4010. tek4010 was written to limit the number of dependencies.

In my opinion the proper solution would therefore be to

1. Add something like „make man“ to make a manual page by the maintainer after the maintainer has installed for example help2man manually. Save the man page in the repo at a suitable place.

2. Fix the „install“ script to install the provided man page in the man database without using commands which are not installed in the standard distribution.

If you agree, please provide and test this solution. I don‘t have much time to work on tek4010 myself at the moment.

make man fails with error in help2man

copy man page fails due to permission problem and location

Hmm, I suppose /usr/share/man/man1 is not better Am Di., 28. Mai 2024 um 17:03 Uhr schrieb Rene Richarz < ***@***.***>:
