The liblouis build system checks if it can find help2man on the machine
where you are building the software. If it finds it it uses it to
generate the man pages. If it doesn't it simply doesn't build the man
pages. This is why the official tar ball from John doesn't have any man
pages. He doesn't have help2man.
Now in your case it does seem to have help2man (check the output from
configure) and invokes it. However help2man fails as it can not invoke
the (cross-compiled) binaries.
I just checked in a change to configure.ac that should fix this. Can you
try to check out from svn and see if this solves your problem?
Thanks
