Manpage compression is a packager/sysadmin task. Forcing .gz compression via Makefile not only creates duplicate work but is also frequently wrong (modern distros use different compressed file formats).
Rather than opaquely making 'install' depend on 'all' (and 'install-bin' fail when called immediately), make 'install-bin' specifically depend on the generated binary file it needs.
'install -D' option is specific to GNU userland, and does not work anywhere else. Use explicit 'install -d' to create files prior to installing them.
