I had to make changes to a lot of files (mostly very minor), but I got this working doc/editcap.pod patch doc/idl2eth.pod patch doc/mergecap.pod patch doc/text2pcap.pod patch changed all L<manpage> to I<manpage> For pod2man the net effect is almost exactly the same. (almost because pod2XXX inserts some verbiage around "manpage") For pod2html the net effect is also the same, but now we don't get warnings about not being able to create links. Perhaps later some work could be done to resolve the links, but how best to accomplish this is not obvious since not all the manpages referenced are part of the ethereal distribution. doc/ethereal.pod.template patch (pedantic) doc/ethereal.pod.template patch (simple) changed all L<manpage> to I<manpage> and fixed an "=item" usage that was causing pod2html to complain. The simple patch works for both cases, but causes one paragraph in the man page (html is fine) to be indented a bit too far. Personally I think I would use this patch, but for those who disagree I created the pedantic patch. The pedantic patch is the same as the simple patch, but it takes some extra (formater specific) steps to get the formatting on the one paragraph correct. configure.in patch added pod2html so I can call it from the Makefile later. Makefile.am patch doc/Makefile.am patch This started as adding rules to build HTML versions of the manpages, but I ended up doing some cleanup as well. 1) while debugging got tired of incorrect intermediate files produced by redirecting output being left around. Changed these rules to look like "command > outfile || rm -f outfile" 2) Moved output of pod2XXX to the doc directory. This *seemed* trivial when I started, but is complicated by the fact that the [t]ethereal manpages require the executables to be built first. I moved the doc directory to then end of the list of subdirectories to build to help fix this. 3) Looking in the patch file is seems I must have run tabify on the Makefile at some point. (the whitespace changes are optional)
