I did try that. I've found that if I run `make` in the toplevel, I can just look at the last command it executes (which is generating all the documentation) and copy/paste all of the huge command to rerun it. It's a terrible solution but works well for me...
If you run it from the `ghc` subdirectory, you just get the same error message but with "No rule to make target `html_ghc'. Stop". Anyway, I've temporarily solved this by copying the huge raw command that toplevel `make` produces to build the docs, but I don't know what the right way to do this is. -- Andrew On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 4:36 AM, Richard Eisenberg <e...@cis.upenn.edu> wrote: > I've discovered that passing options to `make` doesn't necessarily work > all that well.
