Managers:

While compiling sendmail 8.12.9, i am getting this error. Looks like this seemed to be a problem from a long time. Unfortunately, didn't find a solution.

# sh Build -c -f /usr/local/src/sendmail8.12.9/devtools/Site/site.config.m4 install

nroff -man sendmail.8 > sendmail.0 || cp sendmail.0.dist sendmail.0
nroff -man aliases.5 > aliases.0 || cp aliases.0.dist aliases.0
nroff -man mailq.1 > mailq.0 || cp mailq.0.dist mailq.0
nroff -man newaliases.1 > newaliases.0 || cp newaliases.0.dist newaliases.0
../../devtools/bin/install.sh -c -o bin -g bin -m 444 sendmail.0 /usr/share/man/cat8/sendmail.8

cp: cannot create /usr/share/man/cat8/sendmail.8: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-docs'
Current working directory /usr/local/src/sendmail-8.12.9/obj.SunOS.5.8.sun4/sendmail
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all'

My MANPATH is set to

Made changes to config file to add these: (all others are default entries for Solaris 8)

define(`confMANROOT', `/usr/share/man/cat')
define(`confMANROOTMAN', `/usr/share/man/man')

Read readme files, searched everywhere but didn't find any useful stuff.

oops, just before i sent this to you all, i was able to compile using following constructs to bypass compiling mana pages. Still curious to find how to make & install man pages as well. (how would i compile only this part without building all again)

define(`confNO_MAN_BUILD', `true')
define(`confNO_MAN_INSTALL', `true')

Please help.

Thanks
John
