<h4 class="subsection">6.3.7 Building Documentation</h4>
<p>The main GCC documentation is in the form of manuals in Texinfo
format. These are installed in Info format; DVI versions may be
generated by ‘<samp><span class="samp">make dvi</span></samp>’, PDF versions by ‘<samp><span class="samp">make pdf</span></samp>’, and
HTML versions by ‘<samp><span class="samp">make html</span></samp>’. In addition, some man pages are
generated from the Texinfo manuals, there are some other text files
with miscellaneous documentation, and runtime libraries have their own
documentation outside the <samp><span class="file">gcc</span></samp> directory. FIXME: document the
documentation for runtime libraries somewhere.
