Use share/ directory for manpages #2

Closed eribertomota closed 8 years ago

Hi,

I am the current txt2man maintainer in Debian. I will try to help with some issues found. The first is here.

The /usr/local/ has the man/ object which is a symlink to /usr/local/share/man. However, if the 'prefix' is changed to /usr, the man pages will be installed at a wrong path. So, is preferable to use $(prefix)/share/man/man1 instead of $(prefix)/man/man1. It will make easier the packaging in several distros.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Eriberto
