Compiling sowing


Up: Contents Next: Thorough Testing Previous: Configuring sowing

Once configure has determined the features of your system, all we have to do now is

    make 
This will clean all the directories of previous object files (if any), compile the source code, build all necessary libraries, and build the programs. If anything goes wrong, check Section Problems to see if there is anything said there about your problem. If not, follow the directions in Section Submitting bug reports for submitting a bug report. To simplify checking for problems, it is a good idea to use
    make >& make.log & 
Specific (non-default) targets can also be made. See the Makefile to see what they are.

After running this make, the size of the distribution will be about 3 Megabytes (depending on the particular machine it is being compiled for).
