Description
[Moving discussion of this issue from TT #1922, comment 7]
When you configure with a --prefix directory, then build and proceed to install documentation ...
perl Configure.pl --prefix=/path/to/parrot make make install-doc
... you will get documentation installed under
/path/to/parrot/share/doc/
So far so good.
If you then call make docs, you generate documentation for about 14 files. But this documentation is placed under your build directory, not under your install directory:
./docs/doc-prep ./docs/ops/bit.pod ./docs/ops/cmp.pod ./docs/ops/core.pod ./docs/ops/experimental.pod ./docs/ops/io.pod ./docs/ops/math.pod ./docs/ops/object.pod ./docs/ops/pmc.pod ./docs/ops/set.pod ./docs/ops/string.pod ./docs/ops/sys.pod ./docs/ops/var.pod ./docs/packfile-c.pod
Is this what we expect? Is anyone familiar with the history of make docs enough to venture an opinion?
Thank you very much.
