[SOLVED] /usr/local/share/man is empty
I have a quick question regarding Battle for Wesnoth. I've just built it from source using cmake. Under /usr/local/share/man are a bunch of folders named after language codes:
If I look into each of these folders there is simply an empty folder named "man6". Is this proper? I wouldn't really expect BfW to use man pages, but I thought that I'd double check.
Thanks,
nomer

Re: /usr/local/share/man is empty
Wesnoth does have manpages. I looked into /usr/local/share/man/en_GB/man6, and I found them there. Maybe they are not there for all languages, but I have found them for en_GB and many other languages (in fact all whose shortcuts I was able to identify).
(in my case, it was Wesnoth 1.11.1 compiled with scons on Ubuntu 12.10)
Here is what I found there, some of the options are somewhat interesting:

NAME
wesnoth - Battle for Wesnoth, a turn-based fantasy strategy game
SYNOPSIS
wesnoth [OPTIONS] [PATH_TO_DATA]
DESCRIPTION
Battle for Wesnoth is a turn-based fantasy strategy game.
Defeat all enemy leaders using a well-chosen cadre of troops, taking
care to manage your resources of gold and villages. All units have
their own strengths and weaknesses; to win, deploy your forces to their
best advantage while denying your foes the chance to do the same. As
units gain experience, they acquire new abilities and become more pow‐
erful. Play in your own language and test your skill against a smart
computer opponent, or join Wesnoth's large community of online players.
Create your own custom units, scenarios or campaigns, and share them
with others.
OPTIONS
--bpp number
sets BitsPerPixel value. Example: --bpp 32
-c, --campaign [<id_campaign>]
goes directly to the campaign with id <id_campaign>. A selection
menu will appear if no id was specified. Note: When using this
switch please ensure that you specify the data directory path as
the final argument aswell, otherwise the game will take the cam‐
paign/scenario id as the data dir.
--campaign-difficulty [<difficulty>]
The difficulty of the specified campaign (1 to max). If none
specified, the campaign difficulty selection widget will appear.
--campaign-scenario <id_scenario>
The id of the scenario from the specified campaign. The default
is the first scenario.
--config-dir name
sets the user configuration directory to name under $HOME or "My
Documents\My Games" for windows. You can also specify an abso‐
lute path for the configuration directory outside the $HOME or
"My Documents\My Games"
--config-path
prints the path of the user configuration directory and exits.
--data-dir <directory>
overrides the data directory with the one specified
-d, --debug
enables additional command mode options in-game (see the wiki
page at http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CommandMode for more infor‐
mation about command mode).
-e, --editor file
start the in-game map editor directly. If file is specified,
equivalent to -l --load
--fps displays the number of frames per second the game is currently
running at, in a corner of the screen.
-f, --fullscreen
runs the game in full screen mode.
--gunzip infile.gz
decompresses a file which should be in gzip format and stores it
without the .gz suffix. The infile.gz will be removed.
--gzip infile
compresses a file in gzip format, stores it as infile.gz and
removes infile.
-h, --help
displays a summary of command line options to standard output,
and exits.
-l, --load file
loads the savegame file from the standard save game directory.
If the -e or --editor option is used as well, starts the editor
with the map from file open. If it is a directory, the editor
will start with a load map dialog opened there.
--log-level=domain1,domain2,...
sets the severity level of the log domains. all can be used to
match any log domain. Available levels: error, warn‐
ing, info, debug. By default the error level is used.
--logdomains [filter]
lists defined log domains (only the ones containing filter if
used) and exits
--max-fps
the number of frames per second the game can show, the value
should be between the 1 and 1000, the default is 50.
-m, --multiplayer
runs a multiplayer game. There are additional options that can
be used together with --multiplayer as explained below. Only
these additional options can follow --multiplayer.
--no-delay
runs the game without any delays for graphic benchmarking. This
is automatically enabled by --nogui.
--nocache
disables caching of game data.
--nomusic
runs the game without music.
--nosound
runs the game without sounds and music.
--path prints the name of the game data directory and exits.
-p, --preprocess <source file/folder> <target directory>
preprocesses a specified file/folder. For each file(s) a plain
.cfg file and a processed
.cfg file will be written in specified target directory. If a
folder is specified, it will be preprocessed recursively based
on the known preprocessor rules. The common macroses from the
"data/core/macros" directory will be preprocessed before the
specified resources. Example: -p ~/wesnoth/data/campaigns/tuto‐
rial ~/result. For details regarding the preprocessor visit:
http://wiki.wesnoth.org/PreprocessorRef#Command-line_preproces‐
sor
--preprocess-defines=DEFINE1,DEFINE2,etc
comma separated list of defines to be used by the '--preprocess'
command. If SKIP_CORE is in the define list the "data/core"
directory won't be preprocessed.
--preprocess-input-macros <source file>
used only by the '--preprocess' command. Specifies a file that
contains [preproc_define]s to be included before preprocessing.
--preprocess-output-macros [<target file>]
used only by the '--preprocess' command. Will output all pre‐
processed macros in the target file. If the file is not speci‐
fied the output will be file '_MACROS_.cfg' in the target direc‐
tory of preprocess's command. This switch should be typed
before the --preprocess command.
-r XxY, --resolution XxY
sets the screen resolution. Example: -r 800x600
-s, --server [host]
connects to the specified host if any, otherwise connect to the
first server in preferences. Example: --server server.wes‐
noth.org
--username<username>
uses <username> when connecting to a server, ignoring other
preferences.
--password<password>
uses <password> when connecting to a server, ignoring other
preferences. Unsafe.
--strict-validation
validation errors are treated as fatal errors.
-t, --test
runs the game in a small test scenario.
--validcache
assumes that the cache is valid. (dangerous)
-v, --version
shows the version number and exits.
-w, --windowed
runs the game in windowed mode.
--with-replay
replays the game loaded with the --load option.
Options for --multiplayer
The side-specific multiplayer options are marked with number. number
has to be replaced by a side number. It usually is 1 or 2 but depends
on the number of players possible in the chosen scenario.
--ai_confignumber=value
selects a configuration file to load for the AI controller for
this side.
--algorithmnumber=value
selects a non-standard algorithm to be used by the AI controller
for this side. Available values: idle_ai and sample_ai.
--controllernumber=value
selects the controller for this side. Available values: human
and ai.
--era=value
use this option to play in the selected era instead of the
Default era. The era is chosen by an id. Eras are described in
the data/multiplayer/eras.cfg file.
--exit-at-end
exits once the scenario is over, without displaying vic‐
tory/defeat dialog which requires the user to click OK. This is
also used for scriptable benchmarking.
--nogui
runs the game without the GUI. Must appear before --multiplayer
to have the desired effect.
--parmnumber=name:value
sets additional parameters for this side. This parameter depends
on the options used with --controller and --algorithm. It
should only be useful for people designing their own AI. (not
yet documented completely)
--scenario=value
selects a multiplayer scenario by id. The default scenario id is
multiplayer_The_Freelands.
--sidenumber=value
selects a faction of the current era for this side. The faction
is chosen by an id. Factions are described in the data/multi‐
player.cfg file.
--turns=value
sets the number of turns for the chosen scenario. The default is
50.
EXIT STATUS
Normal exit status is 0. An exit status of 1 indicates an (SDL, video,
fonts, etc) initialization error. An exit status of 2 indicates an
error with the command line options.

Re: /usr/local/share/man is empty
Yes, I'm sorry. I just realized that manpages were produced my my build. I wasn't paying close enough attention to the ouptut of `ls`
