Dear Piotr, dear Forum,

The function `MakeGAPDocDoc' is documented as operating system dependent
example function which demonstrates the various converter functions provided
by the GAPDoc package. It should work on UNIX/Linux systems with a 
sufficiently complete LaTeX installation, but it needs adjustments for use
on other systems. 

I have now commited changes to the development version of the GAPDoc
package (https://github.com/frankluebeck/GAPDoc) which make the function
`MakeGAPDocDoc' more robust in the case that the external calls to
'bibtex' or 'pdflatex' do not work. There is also a new optional
argument "nopdf" for `MakeGAPDocDoc'.

In the GAP commands you linked to above the argument 'main' should be
a filename inside the 'path' directory, that is (with or without .xml
extension):
  gap> main := "example";

Best regards,
   Frank
