Description Gary W. Swearingen 2001-08-08 07:00:03 UTC
syscons(4) and sc(4) references non-existant "/usr/include/machine/pc/display.h"
file for users to get color values from (for setting driver options
in kernel configuration).

Tag-along: The man pages are identical and probably waste storage.
================

Fix: Apply this PR/patch to the source file. I notice that the two man
pages are hard links of each other.  I don't know how handle the
patching, but this should be close.

patch -d "some uncompressed man/man4 dir" < this-PR

As for the tag-along (see above), I don't know how to "link" man
pages together in the compressed form.  ("gnudoit" unsuccessfully
attempts to do it with ".so man1/gnuserv.1" and I failed with
".so man4/sc.4.gz".)

The actual problem is the missing /usr/include/machine/pc/
in SHARED=copies case.  I will try to fix this later.
