#45269: crossbinutils @ 1.0 0-byte manpages
---------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  matthieu.mallet@…    |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect               |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal               |  Milestone:
Component:  ports                |    Version:  2.3.1
 Keywords:  crossbuild binutils  |       Port:  arm-elf-binutils
---------------------------------+--------------------------------
 I am about to submit my first ports but I've noticed that for one of them,
 a cross build of binutils, the manpages are 0-bytes files (few bytes when
 their got gzipped).
 {{{
 ll /opt/local/share/man/man1/arm-elf-*
 -r--r--r--+ 1 root  admin    40B Nov 19  2013 /opt/local/share/man/man1
 /arm-elf-addr2line.1.gz
 -r--r--r--+ 1 root  admin    33B Nov 19  2013 /opt/local/share/man/man1
 /arm-elf-ar.1.gz
 -r--r--r--+ 1 root  admin    33B Nov 19  2013 /opt/local/share/man/man1
 /arm-elf-as.1.gz
 -r--r--r--+ 1 root  admin    38B Nov 19  2013 /opt/local/share/man/man1
 /arm-elf-c++filt.1.gz
 ...
 }}}

 In the port's build directory, when I look at the manpages file size, I
 get the following (sh-elf-binutils is the port I am working on, ):
 {{{
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_devel_ports_cross_sh-elf-binutils/sh-elf-
 binutils/work$ find . -iname "*.1" | xargs ls -ali

 ...

 ./build/binutils/doc/addr2line.1
 15667877 -rw-r--r--+ 1 macports  wheel       0 Oct  6 19:44
 ./build/binutils/doc/ar.1
 ...
 }}}

 It seems that there is something wrong when copying the manpages. Can
 someone point me out the thing that I may had not done correctly? (before
 I submit a fix I would rather be sure I just do not miss an option)

 By building binutils manually, I get manpages installed correctly though.

 How to reproduce:
 {{{
 sudo port install arm-elf-binutils
 man arm-elf-ar
 fgets: No such file or directory
 Error reading man page /opt/local/share/man/man1/arm-elf-ar.1.gz
 No manual entry for arm-elf-ar
