- <para><userinput>PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin:/bin ./configure -default</userinput>:
- The paths to some programs get written into man's files. Unfortunately, the
- configure script picks the last location in PATH rather than the first
- where a program is found. By appending /usr/bin:/bin to PATH for the
- ./configure command, we make sure that man doesn't use the /static versions
- of our programs.</para>
- <para><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../man-&man-patch-version;.patch:</userinput>
- This patch comments out one of the files in the <filename>man.conf</filename>
- file (MANPATH /usr/man) because it will create redundant results when using
- programs like <userinput>whatis</userinput>. It also adds the
- <emphasis>-R</emphasis> option to the <emphasis>PAGER</emphasis> variable so
- man pages are displayed properly. Lastly, the patch fixes the problem where
- man pages are not formatted with more than 80 columns when used with the
- recent groff versions.</para>
