if you change frequently your configuration, I would advise you to build out of the source tree (e.g mkdir build cd build ../configure && make ) It's easier to manage (you can create 1 build directory per configuration). However, with these exact commands I reproduce the problem. > I get > Failed to open /usr/local/share/groff/site-font/devps/DESC: > No such file or directory > Failed to open /usr/local/share/groff/1.22.2/font/devps/DESC: > No such file or directory > Failed to open /usr/lib/font/devps/DESC: No such file or directory > > This may be a fault on my side, No, you found a bug ... > not to use "make clean" after changing the prefix; or missing > dependencies? The groff binary is not rebuilt, because defs.h was not regenerated, and thus defs.h still have the old paths. On master, defs.h is forced to be rebuilt. defs.h: FORCE [...] FORCE: I tried another solution, adding a dependency between defs.h and config.status (config.status is generated by configure). It works on my environment, could you please test it ? > 2. > I then tried > make clean; ./configure --prefix=/home/privat/groff_test; make; > make install > and got > Failed to open > /home/privat/groff_test/share/groff/site-font/devps/DESC: > No such file or directory > > 3. > Finally I did > make distclean; ./configure --prefix=/home/privat/groff_test; make; > make install > and got the same result: > Failed to open > /home/privat/groff_test/share/groff/site-font/devps/DESC: > No such file or directory > > The directory /home/privat/groff_test/share/groff/site-font exists, but is > empty. > > The needed DESC-file is in groff_test/share/groff/1.22.2/font/devps, > not in groff_test/share/groff/site-font/devps Calling 'make clean' or 'make distclean' fixed your problem. The error message you got (missing file in site-font) is normal and comes from the additional traces I gave you. We first try to use the fonts in site-font in priority (directory where the user can manually add its own fonts), and then only the default directory in share/groff/1.22.2/font/devps. Regards,
