I have setup sphinx here to build the html and pdf files. Just for the
html generation I did an 'easy_install Sphinx'
To generate the html just do an 'make html' in the MapServer document root.

To preview the html docs open the <builddir>/html/en/index.html in your
browser. I doesn't need to be served through a web server.

To genereate the PDF you will need an texlive installation. In my case
this was

texlive-latex-base
texlive-latex-extra
texlive-latex-recommended
texlive-fonts-recommended
(which will load a huge list of dependencies)

and an 'easy_install rst2pdf' on an debian system.

'make latex' and 'make all-pdf' will generate the pdf file.
