man page is not built for Linux dialect and does not work on its own

[greenius]

Some of the dialects (osr and n+obsd) have a rule to convert Lsof.8 into lsof.0

However the linux dialect Makefile has no rules for making the man page file.

The first line of Lsof.8 is .so ./version

which includes source from the file "version" in the source code folder. This does not work if simply copied to somewhere like /usr/share/man/man8 which does not contain the file "./version"

There is also another source include .so ./00DIALECTS

It seems that support/makeman handle this.

@greenius soelim executable from the groff package can also be used

The correct way is to use soelim as suggested by @subnut .
