Installation with prebuilt docs failing

Installation with prebuilt docs failing

[Bob Dröge]

Hi,

I'm trying to install rdma-core 37.1  from source on a Gentoo Prefix 
system which does not have pandoc nor rst2man installed. I'm using the 
release tarball from the GitHub release page 
(https://github.com/linux-rdma/rdma-core/releases/download/v37.1/rdma-core-37.1.tar.gz), 
though, and was expecting that it would use the prebuilt man pages in 
this case. However, this fails at some point with the following error:

-- Installing: 
/cvmfs/pilot.eessi-hpc.org/2021.06/compat/linux/x86_64/var/tmp/portage/sys-cluster/rdma-core-37.1/image/cvmfs/pilot.eessi-hpc.org/2021.06/compat/linux/x86_64/usr/share/perl5/IBswcountlimits.pm

Though the directory does exist and contains a bunch of files, this one 
is indeed missing. Is this expected (does it only work for certain 
cases?), or is something missing in this tarball?

Best regards,

It is definitely a bug.

The prebuilt docs assume that the standard installation paths are
used, it fails if the paths are abnormal, eg /etc/ and so on.

IIRC we had a no docs cmake option that is intended for the no-pandoc
environments.
