| Summary | 0035969: Incorrect man page installation location on OS X | ||||
| Description | The official FPC 3.0.4 macOS installer installs man pages into /usr/local/man/[man1|man5]. This is incorrect. man does not find them. They should be installed into /usr/local/share/man/[man1|man5]. [Note: I used the 3.0.4 not 3.0.4a installer because the latter was not available at the time, but I doubt this issue has changed in the a version.] | ||||

AFAIK you can configure man to look in /usr/local/man as well by editing /etc/manpaths. But it would of course be better if the installer put them in a place where man looks by default. Assigned to Jonas, he creates the macos installer. |

- amended title Note that this is pretty normal for BSDs. Architecture independent files always go into share/ |
|
|
Will be fixed for FPC 3.2.0rc2 and later |
