System: NetBSD rainier.reedmedia.net 1.6.1_STABLE NetBSD 1.6.1_STABLE (GENERIC) #0: Tue Aug 12 02:52:57 PDT 2003 reed@rainier.reedmedia.net:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386

>Description:
Building pkgsrc/lang/perl5 would wait for manual input at the
site-specific manual pages step in Configure.

 System manual is in /usr/man/man1.
 Where do the main Perl5 manual pages (source) go? (~name ok) [none]
 Where do the site-specific manual pages (source) go? (~name ok)

As you can see the main manual pages defaulted to "none".

My workaround was to add to pkgsrc/lang/perl5/Makefile:

  CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        -Dman1dir="${PREFIX}/man/man1"

Is it okay if that is added?

This is under Linux with LOCALBASE=/usr. I have built perl a few times
like this, but this is the first time on this particular system.

I don't really understand all this Configure and getfile steps.

I originally sent this to tech-pkg and to maintainer.
