You can obtain a printed copy of the manual by running make gnugo.ps in the doc/directory, then printing the resulting postscript file. The manual contains a great deal of information about the algorithms of GNU Go.
On platforms supporting info documentation, you can usually install the manual by executing `make install' (running as root) from the doc/ directory. The info documentation can be read conveniently from within Emacs by executing the command Control-h i.
Documentation in doc/ consists of a man page gnugo.6, the info files gnugo.info, gnugo.info-1, ... and the Texinfo files from which the info files are built. The Texinfo documentation contains this User's Guide and extensive information about the algorithms of GNU Go, for developers.
If you want a typeset copy of the Texinfo documentation, you can make gnugo.dvi, make gnugo.ps, or make gnugo.pdf in the doc/ directory. (make gnugo.pdf only works after you have converted all .eps-files in the doc/ directory to .pdf files, e.g. with the utility epstopdf.)
You can make an HTML version with the command makeinfo --html gnugo.texi. If you have texi2html, better HTML documentation may be obtained by make gnugo.html in the doc/ directory.
User documentation can be obtained by running gnugo --help or man gnugo from any terminal, or from the Texinfo documentation.
Documentation for developers is in the Texinfo documentation, and in comments throughout the source. Contact us at gnugo@gnu.org if you are interested in helping to develop this program.
