30 # Each manpage depends on:
31 # - its .w and .x files and its source script in bin/
32 # - common.x for the SEE ALSO list
33 # - lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm which contains additional --help text
34 # (not included in _all_ the manpages, but it's easier to have them
36 # - .version and configure.ac for version information
38 # We ship the manpages in tarball releases so people can build from
39 # them without having help2man installed. For this to work correctly,
40 # the manpages cannot have declared dependencies on any file that is
41 # not also shipped in the tarball. To avoid concurrency bugs, those
42 # files plus the Makefile must in fact be sufficient to generate the
43 # manpages. See the automake manual, section 'Errors with distclean',
44 # for further discussion.

61 # To generate the manpages, we use help2man, but we don't have it run
62 # the built script that corresponds to the manpage. Instead it runs
63 # the .w file listed above, which is a wrapper around
64 # build-aux/help-extract.pl, which parses the *source* of the script
65 # and extracts the help and version text. This means that the built
66 # script doesn't need to exist to create the manpage. If it did,
67 # we would have a concurrency bug, since we can't declare a dependency
68 # on the built script, as discussed above.
69 # We use a suffix rule describing the manpage as built from its .w file
70 # so that we can use $(<F) to name the executable to be run, which avoids
71 # an extra subshell and sed invocation.
