Hi

It's been a while since I tried this and it appears things have
changed. I tried to follow the instructions at:

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/documentation_hacking.html

with gcc 11.2 and had a few questions:

+ I did a simple configure --prefix=/tmp/gcc-docs the first time and
then "make html". One of those told me prerequisites were missing so I
downloaded them and then it proceeded to build the compiler before
building the html. Is that expected? Can you build the docs without
building the compiler itself?

+ I was going through the formats in the order on the document. I
sucessfully built html and pdf. But make man from the top of the build
directory doesn't work.

 make man
make: *** No rule to make target `man'.  Stop.

"make -C gcc install-man" does install some man pages so I'm guessing
something is wrong with the top Makefile.

I haven't tried the others and I don't think I have the tools
installed for epub so that will have to wait.

Any advice is appreciated.
