LynxOS uses cat-able manual pages, and because a doc preparation system is definitely not a vital component of a real-time operating system you must first install groff-1.09 (or newer). Starting with LynxOS 2.3.0 it should compile right out of the box (or better tar archive).
XFree86 manual pages may be installed using
make install.man
The index and whatis database for the XFree86 manual pages will be created automatically. If you already have a whatis database or index file in the destination directories you should perform a sort/uniq operation to remove duplicate entries:
for i in 1 3 5
do
rm -f /tmp/tmpfile
sort /usr/X11R6/man/cat$i/LIST$i | uniq > /tmp/tmpfile
mv /tmp/tmpfile /usr/X11R6/man/cat$i/LIST$i
done
sort /usr/X11R6/man/whatis | uniq > /tmp/tmpfile
mv /tmp/tmpfile /usr/X11R6/man/whatis
With LynxOS 2.3.0 you should include /usr/X11R6/man in the MANPATH
environment variable.
bash: MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/X11R6/man
The man command of LynxOS 2.2.1 does not support the MANPATH
environment variable properly. The XFree86 manual pages must be
copied (or linked) to the standard manual page locations
(/usr/man/catx) in order to be read the man command:
for i in 1 3 5
do
ln -s /usr/X11R6/man/cat$i/*.* /usr/man/cat$i
cat /usr/X11R6/man/cat$i/LIST$i >> /usr/man/cat$i/LIST$i
sort -o /usr/man/cat$i/LIST$i /usr/man/cat$i/LIST$i
cat /usr/X11R6/man/cat$i/whatis$i >> /usr/man/whatis
done
