6.59.1. Installation of Groff
Groff expects the environment variable PAGE to contain the default paper size. For users in the United States, PAGE=letter is appropriate. Elsewhere, PAGE=A4 may be more suitable. While the default paper size is configured during compilation, it can be overridden later by echoing either “A4” or “letter” to the /etc/papersize file.
Prepare Groff for compilation:
PAGE=<paper_size> ./configure --prefix=/usr
PAGE=<paper_size> ./configure --prefix=/usr
This package does not support parallel build. Compile the package:
