I made some research and found:

1.
with 
        ./configure; make
        ./configure --prefix=/home/privat/groff_test; make; make install
        groff_test/bin/groff -v
I get
        Failed to open /usr/local/share/groff/site-font/devps/DESC:
          No such file or directory
        Failed to open /usr/local/share/groff/1.22.2/font/devps/DESC: 
          No such file or directory
        Failed to open /usr/lib/font/devps/DESC: No such file or directory

This may be a fault on my side, not to use "make clean" after changing the
prefix; or missing dependencies?

2.
I then tried
        make clean; ./configure --prefix=/home/privat/groff_test; make;
        make install
and got
        Failed to open /home/privat/groff_test/share/groff/site-font/devps/DESC:
        No such file or directory

3.
Finally I did
        make distclean; ./configure --prefix=/home/privat/groff_test; make;
        make install
and got the same result:
        Failed to open /home/privat/groff_test/share/groff/site-font/devps/DESC:
        No such file or directory

The directory /home/privat/groff_test/share/groff/site-font exists, but is
empty.

The needed DESC-file is in groff_test/share/groff/1.22.2/font/devps,
not in                     groff_test/share/groff/site-font/devps

Cheers,
