That's not a target in the kdelibs-3.2.0/Makefile.  I have been doing that in 
the kdevelop cvs tree.

Even easier.  exit KDevelop, rm ~/.kde/share/config/kdevdoctreeviewrc.  
Restart KDevelop.  It now points to the on-line documentation that all works 
great. :)

One thing I haven't tried is to build KDevelop in the KDEDIR I built in my 
user space.  I really think that's the problem.  That is, when the KDevelop 
documentation is created, it wants to see KDevelop under $KDEDIR. And that is 
consistent with the instructions. I hope running from a different KDEDIR that 
the one I built in doesn't cause too many problems.

Unfortunately, with the way SuSE packaged things, I don't believe I could use 
their installation to created the documentation.  But that certainly isn't 
the fault of anybody on the KDevelop project.
