Without the build of conf.texi, it can not work as the variable
OCTAVEHOME, etc are defined in this file. So you have to "make
conf.texi" before the make... As for whether it will work if the images
are include the answer is maybe. I would have said definitely, but John
changed the way the time stamping of the images are done just prior to
2.9.5 and so I can remember off-hand if the script to build the images
is called again if the images exist. Try and see.

Try looking the the doc/interpreter/Makefile.in and see what is happening...
