It's not so easy to do unfortunately.

It requires a bunch of prerequisites, that are needed for anyone who
wants to do real development (from Git) on GNU make.  If you have the
checked-out Git code you will find a file README.git which contains
some useful information.

There is also a makefile "maintMakefile" that contains a whole passel
of maintainer rules.  Among them is a target "gendocs" which will check
out the various HTML boilerplate and CSS content from GNU source
control and run various scripts to generate the documentation.

In order to do this you will need to get a number of things such as
gnulib, texinfo, and CVS (the older GNU projects like the doc
boilerplate use CVS).
