Building the manual is a more sophisticated process, the first error
you see is because the manual is not composed of only one file, and
some files seem to be missing.
I don't know if we currently have a top level Makefile target to build
the manual only, but simply make-ing in the source tree rebuilds the
manual. I believe that is the simplest
way to test changes.

Best regards,
