The docs say that if you want to install documentation you need to "make install-docs".  Did you do this?

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/install-procedure.html

It also indicates:

--prefix ... (The man and doc locations are not affected by this.)

I'm not exactly sure what that means, not having done a source installation myself before, but if you go doing customization to the default values you probably need to be aware of this.

It helps greatly if you provide the O/S and commands used when asking for help on installation matters.

​It is customary to bottom or inline posts on these lists.

Lacking experience myself, and specifics on your part, I'm not going to be able to help further without digging deeper into source code installation than I am able to at the moment.  Someone else may though.

But, did you go look to the place where the default prefix would end up placing the docs, if you installed them at all?
