I figured this out because I had the EXACT same problem. You can do it by
knowing the OPENWINHOME is /usr/openwin and looking at the definitions of
all the other symbols used.
The .n files were originally .man - the solaris implimentation of install
doesn't change filenames, and -c only installs the new version if there
isn't a file there already. Also, my module installation directory is
customized.
To fix the install in the makefiles would require:
- reording the parameters to a legal format
- renaming the .man files to .n BEFORE the install, instead of with it.
- changing the option from -c to -f so you actually get a new version, if
you're upgrading.
Personally, i got fed up with trying to figure out how the oblique install
command works and tired of its cryptic man page, and just moved the files
manually.
