Groff expects the environment variable PAGE to contain the default paper size. For those in the United States, the command below is appropriate. If you live elsewhere, you may want to change PAGE=letter to PAGE=A4.
Prepare Groff for compilation:
PAGE=letter ./configure --prefix=/usr |
Compile the package:
make |
And install it:
make install |
Some documentation programs, such as xman, will not work work properly without the following symlinks:
ln -s soelim /usr/bin/zsoelim ln -s eqn /usr/bin/geqn ln -s tbl /usr/bin/gtbl |
