samba - Sep 2014 - build samba manpages in CentOS 7

Hi,

I tried to build samba 4.1.12 in freshly installed CentOS 7 following 
the descriptions on
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Build_Samba
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/OS_Requirements

yum reports that it does not know the packages xattr, xsltproc, docbook.

Configure complains that perl is missing.

After adding perl, running configure, make, and make install, there are 
no man pages anywhere in /usr/local/samba.

How can I build these man pages?

Hi, I once built samba4 on Centos 6.5 and I think the packages you 
require are:
docbook-style-xsl & libxslt

Don't know about xattr, in fact I don't know where you got xattr from 
;-),  surely this is covered by  libattr-devel.

Found it.

CentOS 7 requires this additional command:
yum install perl libxslt docbook-xsl

How can this be put on the wiki page?
Maybe xsl and docbook should be moved to the sections with distribution 
specific packages.

It does already list docbook-xsl in ubuntu specific packages.
