There were some changes recently to fixup the build system to use the 
proper targets in the Make file. If you passed --enable-html-docs to the 
configure script, a regular "make" command should build the manual as 
you said. There is no "doc" or "docs" target anymore, but if you really 
want to specify a target, you can use the manual's filename name like 
"make geany.html".
