jq has been in the community repo for [just over a year now][0]. [0]: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/jq&id=8d5e06065bc92bf56ea651970c9bda07fb545554
Documentation
The jq website, manpages and some of the tests are generated from this
directory. The directory holds a Bonsai
website, and the manual is a YAML file in content/3.manual
.
To build the documentation (including building the jq manpage), you'll need a working Ruby setup. The easiest way to get one is to install RVM and Ruby 1.9.3 like so:
\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby=1.9.3
After that finishes installing, you'll need to make sure RVM is on
your path by doing source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm
, or just opening a
new shell. See https://rvm.io for more info on RVM.
Once RVM is installed, you can install all the dependencies for jq's
documentation build by running this from the docs
directory:
bundle install
When bundle manages to install the dependencies, rerun ./configure
in the jq root directory and then the Makefile will be able to
generate the jq manpage.
