Run the following commands:
make make html make man lynx doc/iputils.html # Read...
If the first make fails, no problems:
make html lynx doc/iputils.html Read section "Installation notes"...
But if make html fails too, check that DocBook package is installed
on your machine. If it is installed, and make does not work nevertheless,
please [open an issue on github.com]
(https://github.com/iputils/iputils/issues/new).
There's no configure option to install into a prefix. Use the DESTDIR
make variable to change the installation target. There's no support for
picking up build dependencies in a prefix.
