[mpich-discuss] Building MPICH man pages

[Raffenetti, Ken]

Hi Howard,

You’ll need to add --with-doc to your autogen.sh to actually generate the man srcs. From there you might need some additional tools installed to actually generate the output. One is txt2man which should be available via package managers. The other is doctext that you’ll need to grab from Bill’s home page. https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://wgropp.cs.illinois.edu/projects/software/sowing/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!eMCk3s_VqjTFxKNSIvolSU_CGhK63GHM0lPU7MBy02hy3VoC4Vm1P_TR1KqfhPyyFdm9mMMKPJwCo4xH$

Hi All,

I’m interested in seeing how the MPICH package generates its man pages, and have been trying to build/install main branch (fresh checkout from github).
The package builds as far as libs and compiler wrappers are concerned, but there do not appear to be any man pages.

I’m doing

checkout from github
git submodule –init –recursive
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=a place to call home
make -j 4 install

do I need to use a special configure or make option?

Thanks for any pointers,

Howard
