18 | Installing and uninstalling |
| 19 | =========================== | |
| d25b9246 | 20 | "make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/local/share/man/man[1-8]. |
| 836a4368 | 21 | |
| d25b9246 | 22 | To install to a path different from /usr/local, use |
| 780b72d4 | 23 | "make install prefix=/install/path". |
| 836a4368 BR |
24 | |
| 25 | "make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this | |
| 26 | distribution from its destination. Use with caution, and remember to | |
| 27 | use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target. | |

29 | To install only a specific man section (mandir) such as man3, use |
| 30 | "make install-man3". Similar syntax can be used to uninstall a | |
| 31 | specific man section, such as man7: "make uninstall-man7". | |
| 32 | ||
| 836a4368 BR |
33 | "make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make |
| 34 | install". | |
| 35 | ||

36 | Consider using multiple threads (at least 2) when installing |
| 37 | these man pages, as the Makefile is optimized for multiple threads: | |
| 38 | "make -j install". | |
