I'm installing Git 2.2.0 from source distribution on NetBSD 6.1.5

Is there a fix available for this?
It works fine for me here (Debian):
Can you elaborate on the commands you're running? After running the
configure script, can you confirm that mandir is set appropriately
in config.mak.autogen?
Thanks for your reply and sorry for my delay in responding.
I'm executing ./configure --mandir=/usr/local/man --disable-pthreads
then gmake and gmake install. I'm using gmake (GNU make) because I get
Makefile errors with the regular BSD make, but that's another issue.
I'm disabling pthreads because there is a linking error for undefined
references to a few functions (I probably need to pass -lpthread in
LDFLAGS, but haven't tried that yet).
mandir is properly set in config.mak.autogen.
When I set prefix to /tmp/foo and mandir to /tmp/bar like your example,
it installs things into /tmp/foo, but /tmp/bar isn't even created.
I noticed text files in Documentation/ that look like the content of man
pages, and when I run gmake in that directory, I get an error about
asciidoc missing to make an HTML file. Is asciidoc required for the man
pages as well? I don't see any files that appear to be man page format
other than in perl/blib/man3 and those are installed (but not under the
mandir prefix, rather the default /usr/local/share/man prefix).
