Building pkgtools/pkgdepgraph on Solaris 11.2 fails with:

nroff -man /opt/pkgsrc/pkg-hrz/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkgdepgraph/work.pkgsrc-sol11i86/pkgdepgraph.1 > /opt/pkgsrc/pkg-hrz/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkgdepgraph/work.pkgsrc-sol11i86/pkgdepgraph.0
gtroff: fatal error: can't find macro file an
*** Error code 1

work/.tools/bin/nroff is a symlink to /usr/bin/gnroff

... which is a symlink to /usr/gnu/bin/nroff

... which is a shell script calling /usr/bin/groff

Why is *roff called instead of using the preformatted manpage from the files directory in the first place?


BTW: Building textproc/groff to get a groff that knows about "-man" fails with

checking that header files support C++... no
configure: error: header files do not support C++
                   (if you are using a version of gcc/g++ earlier than 2.5,
                   you should install libg++)
*** Error code 1
