No, it just needs writeable folders to work.

Thus I took the simple route of running make doc (and make test) under
sudo. Is that how others does it too?
No, never.  I think that if you do

make
sudo make install

that _some_ directory is only created during make install, and thus
getting rid of it again is a more-than-once nuisance.
And considering I make doc about 3-4 times a day most days with no problems and I am not AFAIK using 'sudo', which was why I was interested in what exactly is being done here step by step.

Are you for instance doing/have done something as 'root' and then trying to run the make process as joe-user?

If I take a quick peek in my LILYPOND_GIT all my dirs are owner/group 'jlowe jlowe' than root, or any other user.
