DIAGNOSTICS

Error: Cannot read manifest file $filename: $!

The manifest file could not be opened for reading.

Warning: MANIFEST file $name lists filename outside (sub)directory: $file

The MANIFEST file of a distributed package should be located in the top directory of that packages. All files of the distribution are in that same directory, or one of its sub-directories, otherwise they will not be packaged.

Error: manual definition requires manual object

A call to addManual() expects a new manual object (a OODoc::Manual), however an incompatible thing was passed. Usually, intended was a call to manualsForPackage() or mainManual().
