- <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...:</userinput>
- These three patches comment out one of the lines 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>
