Follow-up Comment #16, bug #66143 (group groff):

Hi Branden!

Thank you for your long answer and background information on C and C++!

> To be honest, I didn't try, 

I am a bit sad - but I fully understand your hesitancy. 

I will try and channel my emotional energy into trying to find out, why and
how the homebrew build of groff works. I have a suspicion it is related to
setting the prefix explicitly [1]. I am hard pressed of guessing, what that
variable is set tot during build, so I will have to try it out.

output.

Honestly, I do not fully understand, what you mean by this. But maybe my
investigation of homebrews own build process will further my understanding.

> Feel free to direct Homebrew developers to this ticket.  Maybe I'm wrong.

My goal is simply to be able to build groff from source on macos with homebrew
without needing to patch the groff sources. If it is homebrew, which is at
fault, I will certainly open a ticket there. :)

Thank you again for the time you take to address my problem!
