Bug 104981 – Request for gcc libstdc++ library documentation

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Dizzy 2005-09-06 01:02:36 UTC]

Hi

I am unable to find if gentoo can install the manual pages for gcc libstdc++ (I
searched portage, searched this bug tracker, asked on the gentoo forums). So my
request is to have some way to install from portage the libstdc++ documentation
(I prefer manual pages for obvious reasons).

It can be done with a separate ebuild or a "doc" flag to gcc :)

Thanks!

I second the request for GCC's libstdc++ documentation. Both HTML and man pages
should be available.

dont know why this is assigned to lv ...

gcc ebuilds already build libstdc++ documentation

you need doxygen and USE=doc for it though

Huh ? Maybe I miss something but to check for a "doc" USE flag was the first 
thing I done before reporting this. I have no such flag with gcc:  
# emerge -pv gcc  
  
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

ok, so it doesnt utilize the doc USE flag ... you just have to install doxygen first

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2005-11-03 18:31:54 UTC]

ok, i lied ... you dont need USE=doc, you just need to install doxygen first

re-emerge gcc and it'll generate the manpages for you
