make serve-static and make build dont work

[susanev]

make serve-static gives 404s make build fails on the resourcedocsgen copying step

@susanev can you post some details as to what fails for you when you run make build?

The README does at least try to explain how these are supposed to work:

make build generates the website and writes it to ./public. make serve runs a local HTTP server that serves the contents of ./public

.. so you'll definitely get a 404 if you haven't successfully run make build yet (as there's nothing there to be served).

Just used this, still seems to work, closing.

i could never build from the docs repo, might be worth having a new person try it fresh to see if they can get it to work
