I see that 'make install-docs' seems to be using
"/Users/barryh/otp_src_R15B01/bootstrap" as the rootdir whereas my shell
uses "/Users/barryh/lib/erlang". I made an attempt to force 'make
install-docs' use the latter via an export of ERL_TOP, but I believe the
Makefile is overriding it:
otp_src_R15B01 barryh$ export ERL_TOP=/Users/barryh/lib/erlang
otp_src_R15B01 barryh$ make install-docs
ERL_TOP=/Users/barryh/otp_src_R15B01 INSTALLROOT=/Users/barryh/lib/erlang
