Introduction to Rebuilding from Source 


This documentation describes how to rebuild the programs provided with your GNUPro Toolkit from the supplied source code.

Reasons to rebuild include incorporating a bug-fix patch from Cygnus Solutions, changing the default installation directory which is built-in to the GNUPro binaries, or making local changes to the source code.

To rebuild from source, you must use the following steps.

1.
Configure the toolkit source for a particular host and target with the configure command.

2.
Build (compile) the source code into executable binary files.

3.
Install the binary files.

See the following documentation for specific discussion on rebuilding from source.

This documentation does not discuss rebuilding DOS or Win95/WinNT-hosted releases. Please contact Cygnus for help, using send-pr.
