>Description:
If a port Makefile defines MLINKS, the symbolic links are installed even if
NOPORTDOCS is used. This subsequently causes confusing errors when man(1) is
used and also when makewhatis(8) runs.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/graphics/tiff
make -DNOPORTDOCS=1 install
ls -l /usr/local/man/man3/TIFF*
Observe that the syminks are there but the man pages themselves are not.
>Fix:
Add:
.if !defined(NOPORTDOCS)
.endif
at suitable places in bsd.port.mk.
