Hm, I take it that the issue is that "nmhman" was being displayed
as "$(prefix)/share/man"? Or something like that?
Yep. If you just run configure with no arguments you get
man page install path : ${prefix}/share/man
I would have thought that the eval would have taken care of that; actually,
now that I try it out, I see that from my quick testing, it _should_ work.
The trouble is that there are several layers of indirection
to be undone:
mandir is ${datarootdir}/man
nmhman is ${prefix}/share/man
nmhman2 is /usr/local/nmh/share/man
(The reason autoconf leaves these unexpanded is so you can
specify a different prefix when running make and have all
the dependent variables adjust correctly without having to
reconfigure.)
Anyway, I guess autoconf must have changed at some point so
the default value of mandir needs an extra level of expansion.
I couldn't see a clean good way to expand only the
right number of times here, so I've just committed a
slightly tweaked version of markus' patch.
If anybody has a better suggestion we can do that instead :-)
