/bin/sh: 1: mrkd: not found
make: *** [doc/Makefile:107: doc/lightning-cli.1] Error 127
Edit: It looks like
sudo pip3 install mrkd solved the problem. I am not sure why I didn't need it before.
mrkd is used to generate the documentation (manpages) from markdown files and before this release, the generated files were part of the source code. now you need to generate them yourself with mrkd
Is is possible to just not generate docs using a compile flag? Seen that before but not sure if it's supported here. I usually only install pips into virtualenv's; not sure if this would work here if I activate the environment before running
make.
I wondered the same, especially after I noticed that the mrkd I get from
pip3 install mrkd in Devuan/Debian 9 doesn't work with the installed Python 3.5.3.
After some fruitless digging through the Makefile and configure (for something like
--no-docs) I gave up and just did:
sudo echo -e '#!/bin/sh\ntouch $2\nexit 0' > /usr/local/bin/mrkd
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/mrkd
make && make install-program
This whole mrkd thing is a unnecessary annoyance IMO.
