Unfortunately our build system requires GNU make.

On GNU/Linux systems "make" usually is GNU make but for example
on ElectroBSD "make" is a BSD make and one has to install GNU
make extra in which case it is called gmake.

My impression is that you didn't use GNU make either.

If I use "make" I get the same error you did:

| fk at t520 ~/git/privoxy.git $make dok dok-tidy
| make: don't know how to make dok. Stop
|
| make: stopped in /home/fk/git/privoxy.git

Using "gmake dok dok-tidy" works as expected.
