[LLVMdev] [Cygwin] groff build error - semi solved

[Aaron Gray]

Turns out I did not have Perl installed and hence no pod2man command, so it was not groff after all.

But 'true', what ever it does, does not seem to be working on Cygwin.

true pod2man --release=1.5 --center="LLVM Command Guide" /usr/build/llvm/../../src/llvm-1.5/docs/CommandGuide/analyze.pod /usr/build/llvm/docs/CommandGuide/analyze.1

'true' seems to behaving like a "do nothing machine".

>From looking at the Bash documentation it does not look like it should be there at all !

        http://www.faqs.org/docs/bashman/bashref_68.html

Can anyone enlighten me please as to what 'true' is doing there, and can I remove it ?

Aaron

  Here it is, a missing file "analyze.1" :-

  /usr/bin/groff -Tps -man /usr/build/llvm/docs/CommandGuide/analyze.1 > /usr/buil
  d/llvm/docs/CommandGuide/analyze.ps
  troff: fatal error: can't open `/usr/build/llvm/docs/CommandGuide/analyze.1': No
   such file or directory
  make[2]: *** [/usr/build/llvm/docs/CommandGuide/analyze.ps] Error 1
  make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/build/llvm/docs/CommandGuide'
  make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/build/llvm/docs'
  make: *** [install] Error 1

  Whoopse, this is actually the pre 1.5 version of llvm I am using, so I do not know whether it has been fixed in the 1.5 release, probably not, but if it is not obvious, please, do not waste too much time on it, and I will do a clean 1.5 rebuild tomorrow, then hopefully a CVS build.

  Hopefully I can put together a sh script and makefile combination to automate the build process.
