doc/CMakeLists.txt now sets a variable indicating that we either have, or can build, each individual man page. And when we call our installed_program() function to mark a program as official enough to put in 'make install', that function also installs the man page similarly if it exists, and warns if not. For the convenience of people building-and-installing from the .tar.gz we ship, I've arranged that they can still get the man pages installed without needing Halibut: the previous commit ensured that the prebuilt man pages are still in the tarball, and this one arranges that if we don't have Halibut but we do have prebuilt man pages, then we can 'build' them by copying from the prebuilt versions.
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/>.

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.
