Allin,
Thanks for this, but the outcome is weird after -make-. Essentially, after
executing everything (it seems), it throws up an endless loop of LaTeX
errors, which is odd, as I have TeX Live 2015 which works fine for me. I
don't even get to -make pdfdocs-.
Ah, this is not unexpected, and it's mainly the reason why the
doc-building part is optional; "make pdfdocs" wil try to build several
documents, including the User's Guide, the Command Reference etc, which
are pretty hefty and depend on quite a few LaTeX packages.
Therefore, spotting what goes wrong may not be that easy. Usually, it's
missing bits in your TeX setup. For example, you'll need packages like
appendix.sty and pifont.sty.
If you're using a Debian-derivative distribution, such as Mint or Ubuntu,
usually all it takes is installing a few extra packages.
"texlive-latex-extra" and "texlive-font-extra" should be sufficient,
IIRC.
