You didn't say what platform you're using, so this might not help you.

On a Unix system with LaTeX installed, you should be able to "cd" to the Doc 
directory and run "make html" or "make pdf".  That *might* even work on 
Cygwin.

For any other platforms, I've no idea.  All the real logic of how to do the 
formatting is in Doc/tools/mkhowto.  If that doesn't work for you, please let 
me know what platform and LaTeX distribution you're using, and what went 
wrong.
