            Bug ID: 99101
           Summary: broken man pages in wayland-1.12.0
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)

          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium

patch to add *.c.3 and *.h.3 man files to the install script

Some of the man pages installed have links to non-existent files. When running
mandb I see lots of warnings like this:
$ sudo mandb -c
......
mandb: can't open /usr/share/man/man3/wayland-server.c.3: No such file or
directory
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man3/wl_socket_lock.3.gz: bad symlink or ROFF
`.so' request
.....

When trying to look at the man page for wl_socket_lock I get this:
$ man wl_socket_lock
man: can't open /usr/share/man/man3/wayland-server.c.3: No such file or
directory
No manual entry for wl_socket_lock

This happens with version 1.12.0 and also on today's git's master 721e0b4a9.

This is caused by the install scripts not installing some files that some man
pages point to. I attach a patch that fixes the problem on my system: it adds
the missing *.c.3 and *.h.3 files to the installation.
