Hello, We have a very long list of manpages to install in man3 in the hwloc project [1]. Somebody recently reported a failure of some platform because the install-man command-line was too long. Indeed we have a single man3_MANS variable with maaaany manpages. I tried to split it into pieces as explained in [2] but this doesn't appear to work. From what I see in the automake code, only man_MANS and man[0-9]_MANS variables are processed as manpages. Anything else such as man3_foo_MANS seems ignored.
How may I solve this? Is there anything better than the following ideas: * Split into many different man3_foo_DATA variables inside the same Makefile.am because any variable ending with _DATA is processed. it works but installing manpages as DATA might cause other problems? * Split my doc directory into subdirectories with a smaller part of my big man3_MANS in each subdirectory. Looks ok, but not very nice because these new subdirectories are not used for anything else. FWIW, the current man3_MANS variable is visible at [3]. All section 3 manpages are generated at the same time with doxygen.
