I have problems installing the complete documentation for GMT 6 (I only get a few man pages: gmt, gmt-config, gmt_shell_functions.sh, gmtswitch, isogmt), but the rest is missing. I tried “set (GMT_INSTALL_EXTERNAL_DOC/MAN ON)”, but had no success.
I also executed “cmake --build . --target docs_man/html” and got “WARNING: html_static_path entry ‘_source/_static’ does not exist” - probably this is the reason for the missing man pages?
I am especially interested in a complete set of man pages (but also in the html and pdf documents), if possible, directly from the external GMT server. Perhaps it is just a wrong Setup of ConfigUser.cmake?
Any help on this matter is very much appreciated.
With best regards,

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I thought that something went wrong during my installation (because of the warning message from “cmake --build . --target docs_man/html”).
Nevertheless, I found it always very convenient to have the full man pages, because I work frequently on a server without Xwindows support. However, of course one can also live with “gmt docs …”.
So I understand that my installation is okay and complete.
Ping @mdtanker. This is the issue I mentioned on PDF documentation being dropped from GMT. I’ll see if there’s still a way to get the PDF rendered manually for PyGMT (and maybe GMT) since you need to work offline in the field for a few months.
