Description (last modified by hobu) (diff) 

There is no way to set the doc dir with configure, and thus is hardwired to doc/ off the prefix:

@exec_prefix@/doc

Normally on OS X (and some other variants of unix, I think) various doc folders (man, info, doc) are in share/, not the prefix.  Without a --docdir= configure option, I can't override the default without editing gdalmake.opt after configure.

I think we've fixed this one as part of the Framework stuff? If not, please reopen.

No, nothing done yet. And it applies to a unix build also, so it wouldn't be strickly a framework build fix.

But, I suppose "make docs" may not be a fully supported option yet? Some time ago when I asked about this, that's what Frank said, or at least that not a lot of effort was put into maintaining it, or maybe it was that it was really just for creating the docs for the web site. Yet, other than this doc dir problem, make docs and make install-docs works just fine and is useable on a local installation.
