[Nut-upsdev] building NUT on Mac OS X Yosemite (website/documentation)

Mon Dec 1 20:29:12 UTC 2014

Hi guys,
Regarding building NUT on mac os x (yosemite), I tried Charles tweaks (ASCIIDOC_VERBOSE=-v + I’ve tried without internet connection) without success.
Quick explanation for Charles regarding NUT WEBSITE: I would like to build it on my Mac because I’m experiencing some memory/performance issues with my VMs due to my quite old computer.
bye, jean

The OS X Buildbot slave sets "ASCIIDOC_VERBOSE=-v" in the environment to print out the exact commands being invoked (although this only seems to work for the HTML documentation, rather than the man pages).
