Hi folks, I've installed a few WSL distros for comparison and downloaded a bunch of other manpage sets and unpacked them: $ l src/man/*[0-9].tar.gz src/man/CentOS_7.1.tar.gz src/man/NetBSD_7.1.tar.gz src/man/Darwin_7.0.1.tar.gz src/man/OpenBSD_6.2.tar.gz src/man/Debian_8.1.0.tar.gz src/man/Red_Hat_Linux_i386_9.tar.gz src/man/FreeBSD_12.tar.gz src/man/SunOS_5.10.tar.gz src/man/FreeBSD_Ports_11.1.tar.gz src/man/SuSE_Linux_i386_11.3.tar.gz src/man/HP-UX_11.22.tar.gz src/man/X11_R7.4.tar.gz
$ l /proc/cygdrive/c/usr/local/share/man/ cat1/ debian@ man1p/ mann/ SunOS-5.10/ cat3/ Debian-8.1.0/ man2/ netbsd@ suse@ cat5/ freebsd@ man3/ NetBSD-7.1/ SuSE-11.3/ cat7/ FreeBSD-12-current/ man3p/ openbsd@ ubuntu@ cat8/ FreeBSD-ports-11.1-RELEASE/ man4/ OpenBSD-6.2/ x@ centos@ hpux@ man5/ ports@ X11R7.4/ CentOS-7.1/ HP-UX-11.22/ man6/ redhat@ darwin@ man0p/ man7/ RedHat-9-i386/ Darwin-7.0.1/ man1/ man8/ solaris@ but despite reading docs, adding links and changing configs, I'm unable to get man/-db to access these with or without the -m system switch. I know I must be missing some essential point, but searching has not come up with anything to help me fix this. Has anyone here set this up and can suggest an approach that will work? -- Take care.
