<para><screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../man-&man-80cols-patch-version;-80cols.patch &amp;&amp;
patch -Np1 -i ../man-&man-manpath-patch-version;-manpath.patch &amp;&amp;
patch -Np1 -i ../man-&man-pager-patch-version;-pager.patch &amp;&amp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;./configure -default -confdir=/etc &amp;&amp;
make &amp;&amp;
make install</userinput></screen></para>

<para>Note: If you wish to disable SGR escape sequences, you should
edit the man.conf file and add the <userinput>-c</userinput> argument
to nroff.</para>

<para>You may want to take a look at the man hint 
at <ulink url="&hints-root;man.txt"/>, which deals with formatting 
and compression issues for man pages.</para>
