Thank you, that should do the trick for now.

By the way, the reason you can't find CMAKE_INSTALL_MANDIR is that you need GNUInstallDirs.cmake in /usr/share/cmake-$VERSION/Modules
(installed by the cmake-data package).

It's strange though, as this gets installed by Debian/sid (cmake on Squeeze is too old to have this).

Anyway, having MANDIR as a cmake option is works for me. Thanks again!

Done.

The new option MANDIR points to "${SHAREDIR}/man" by default.

I thought CMAKE_INSTALL_MANDIR would be a builtin variable. The cmake patch that got committed to OpenBSD and the cmake documentation I posted at least implied that. http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/ports/devel/cmake/patches/patch-Modules_GNUInstallDirs_cmake?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain

I really don't know if that's weechat/cmake specific or if it's a Debian/cmake problem...

But for now I guess it would help (at least on OpenBSD) to use the MANDIR option approach, but with MAINDIR being set to ${SHAREDIR}/man/man1 as a default, so existing setups do not break?

Hi,

Thank you for patches.

I agree there is a little problem with path in doc/CMakeLists.txt, but for me your patches are not working: the CMAKE_INSTALL_MANDIR is not defined here (using cmake 2.8.9-rc1 on debian sid).
Maybe it would need some extra changes to have that defined, do you have time to investigate this problem ? (otherwise tell me, I'll try to look)

While creating the OpenBSD port I stumbled upon the "bug" that weechat does not install the man page to the correct path.

In doc/CMakeLists.txt you hardcode ${SHAREDIR}/man/man1 which is not always correct (under OpenBSD manpages are in /usr/local/man not /usr/local/share/man for example).

According to this: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/cmake.html
cmake sets a variable called CMAKE_INSTALL_MANDIR which should be used in this case.

I attached two approaches to this:
 o just replace SHAREDIR with CMAKE_INSTALL_MANDIR in doc/CMakeLists.txt
 o make MANDIR a new cmake option (using CMAKE_INSTALL_MANDIR as default)
