You're right, but "bigide" explicitly includes ChmHelpPkg (i.e., if I
understand things correctly, the various viewers) while "all" doesn't.

make bigide does not include chmhelppkg. You have to pass
OPT=-dUseCHMHelp to do that.

I made using bigide, and the package was in the installed list. I still had to build lhelp manually.

As far as I understand it, that simply registers CHM help with the
IDE, and gives the IDE a default location of where to find LHelp. And
with newer Lazarus IDE versions, the IDE will automatically try to
compile LHelp if the executable doesn't exist. This still doesn't
compile/generate any of the CHM help files themselves.

Correct.
The docs have references to the RTL+FCL docs, which are outside the
Lazarus sources and have references to programmers guide, which
requires latex. The whole doc build chain has too many dependencies and
need several minutes to build. That's not feasible for a simple make
command.

So what's best to do here: download them as binaries and install where/how?
