From 6e91b74d56e169797ecf8ba64def28d6f2fd5003 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Herton R. Krzesinski" Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2017 15:57:28 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: allow installing man pages to a user defined directory Documentation/DocBook/Makefile hard codes the prefixed path to which you can install the built man pages (/usr/local prefix). That's unfortunate since the user may want to install to another prefix or location (for example, a distribution packaging the man pages may want to install to a random temporary location in the build process). Be flexible and allow the prefixed path to which we install man pages to be changed with the INSTALL_MAN_PATH environment variable (and use the same default as other similar variables like INSTALL_HDR_PATH).
