It was unclear what finally was compiled, and why. Now I have more hints 
on the interpretation of the MakeFile :-)

Perhaps I entered "make help" in the wrong directory...

I had done that since months, if I only could install Lazarus on Linux 
(perhaps a 64 bit problem?). FP seems not to be readily usable for 
PasDoc. In both cases required units are not found, perhaps a problem 
with search pathes? The Windows version of Lazarus tends to crash or to 
go into infinite loops, sometimes just while loading a project. Even 
after installation of the pasdoc_package, Lazarus hangs in loading 
PasDoc_gui. But I'll give it another try, with the console version...
