+Qemu-5.1.0 build from source man entry not found
+
+Hello together,
+
+i build qemu-5.1.0 from source on centos 8 withe the following command:
+
+../configure --prefix=/usr --target-list=x86_64-softmmu,x86_64-linux-user
+
+make -j4
+
+make install
+
+The build and the installation finished successfully. But when i try the command
+
+man qemu-system-x86_64
+
+i got the message "No manual entry found". What i do wrong ?
+
+Best regards
+Damian

+You probably don't have the necessary dependencies to build the manual pages. Since 5.0 we have required Sphinx to be installed to build the docs (see https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/5.0#Build_Dependencies).
+
+Pass --enable-docs to configure if you want to force the docs to be built (and then configure will stop with an error if Sphinx or another required tool is missing); otherwise configure will default to "build docs if possible, skip if required tools are missing".
+
+
+There is only one shared man-page for all qemu-system-xxx binaries ... have you tried to simply run "man qemu" ?
+
+Hello together,
+
+build with enable-docs and install the required packages now it works with man qemu. 
+
+Many thanks for you help
+
+Problem resolved :-)
+
+Best regards
