`cabal build` does not seem to generate user-guide or man page #113

Closed nochiel closed 7 years ago

nochiel commented 7 years ago

The readme instructs the user to:

    $ cabal configure
    $ cabal build

Having done so, this inexperienced user was surprised to find the doc/ folder without a compiled man page or user guide.

  1. What are the steps to be taken to build the aforementioned documentation and have it installed?
  2. Should alex.cabal be amended so that documentation is built and installed in the expected manner when the usual commands are run?
