I write a number of my own programs, and have always had a bit of a problem writing the manpage, I have used the excellent 'ManEdit' but development on this has been stalled for a number of years.


So I finally decided to write my own and this is the result.





Debian or Ubuntu install.


sudo apt-get update


sudo apt-get install build-essential 


sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev


sudo apt-get install libgtksourceview2.0-dev libaspell-dev





Fedora Install


sudo yum update kernel*


sudo yum install gcc-c++ glib2-devel gtk2-devel gcc


sudo yum install gtksourceview2-devel ctags webkitgtk-devel aspell-devel





OpenSuse ( Leap 42.x ) gtk2.





sudo zypper install make gcc gcc-c++


sudo zypper install xorg-x11-devel ctags gtksourceview2-devel gtk2-devel vte2-devel





Optional installs


sudo zypper install aspell-devel aspell aspell-en





To install:


./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-aspell


make


sudo make install





If you don't have aspell installed then don't enable it!





If you have problems importing a manpage or a system manpage try:





GROFF\_SGR=1 manpageeditor





You can make this permenant by adding:


export GROFF\_SGR=1


To your shell start up files, ~/.bashrc for instance.





Please read the BUGS-ETC file.
