this wiki page is very confused.

almost everything of it is about documenting *internal* LO code with 
doxygen, except for the "Building" section, which is about building the 
*public* API documentation with doxygen - 2 different things!

the internal LO code documentation can be built with "make docs".

the problem is, you can't just build a single module (odk is a top-level 
directory aka module) without having a complete build of everything 
first (just "make").

note that "docs" is not a module, but just a target in the top-level 
makefile, so you should be able run that one without building LO (just 
from memory, i haven't done this in ages).
