[Gimp-docs] Installing GIMP help files

[Mark Beihoffer]

Hello,

I've been trying to install the GNU Image Manipulation Program help
files on OpenBSD 4.3 for a while now, and no luck.

In most other distributions the help files are a separate package, but
there is no OpenBSD package for them and nothing in the ports tree.

I downloaded the help files from ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/help/ as
recommended by http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ and extracted the bzip2
files, then tried to follow the INSTALL document.

>./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... nawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... (cached) yes
checking whether make is GNU make... configure: error: make not found

I installed gmake from packages and tried again, and it still couldn't
find GNU make. There is nothing in the README or the INSTALL file that
indicates I can set a flag to locate make during configuration.

What should I do?

Thanks,
