It's silly to require all the time-consuming cmake configuration for the source code, if all you want to do is to build the documentation. My own website update script will like this optimisation, and so will Buildscr. In order to make doc/CMakeLists.txt work standalone, I had to add a 'project' header (citing no languages, so that cmake won't even bother looking for a C compiler); include FindGit, which cmake/setup.cmake now won't be doing for it; change all references to CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR to CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR/.. (since now the former will be defined differently in a nested or standalone doc build); and spot whether we're nested or not in order to conditionalise things designed to interoperate with the parent CMakeLists.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
