Description Sergey 2016-06-08 14:23:09 UTC 
Hello.
I have found out that file /usr/src/Makefile.inc1 contains following
# Needed for share/man
.if ${MK_MAN} != "no"
ITOOLS+=makewhatis
.endif

I have settings in /etc/src.conf:
#WITHOUT_MAN=YES
WITHOUT_MAN_UTILS=YES
which should build man pages but skip man utils (I use mandoc from ports)

but building release iso fails, requiring makewhatis file, I suppose it should be set as:
# Needed for share/man
.if ${MK_MAN_UTILS} != "no"
ITOOLS+=makewhatis
.endif

Regards

In my case building fails saying makewhatis binary couldn't been found in the path.

Log:
  Include makewhatis in ITOOLS when MK_MAN_UTILS is true

  Previously it was conditional on MK_MAN. It's possible to build
  FreeBSD with man pages but without man page tools. MK_MAN_UTILS
  is the conditional used in share/man/Makefile for determining whether
  makewhatis is executed at install time, so it is the proper one for
  ITOOLS as well.
