Re: [Groff] groff 1.19.1 compile/installation failure

Keith, the patch fixes the problem with a non-gnu make. Many thanks.

However, the make still fails after building most of the software,
fonts and man pages. Here's the last parts of the make output:

Any ideas what's wrong? I presume these -F and -M arguments point the
newly built troff at the DESC files that have just been created, no?
