I get the following error when trying to make the handbook on ubuntu 16.04 LTS:

$ cd trueos-handbook
$ make epub
Makefile:13: *** missing separator. Stop.

Yea, I do see this error when using 'gmake'. Not sure the issue yet, works with FreeBSD's make.

gmake doesn't like the period before "ifndef" and "endif" but if you remove them it stops on line 75 on:

.if exists(po)

but I don't know how to fix that one - it also doesn't like the period-less "if":

Makefile:75: *** missing separator.  Stop.

Oh, and try bmake:

apt-get install bmake

Well, the handbook is already available pre-built on the website[1]. Since TrueOS is an operating system, we kind of expect that the handbook to be "built" on the same operating system, not other types of systems.

Closing as "not to be fixed".
