To build any package, simply type make
in the package’s
subdirectory. You can change to the directory with the cd
command in the shell, or with the -C option of make
.
For example, to build the hello package in the gnu/hello
subdirectory from the root GSRC directory use:
$ make -C gnu/hello
This will download, unpack, configure and build the hello package. The package will be built in the subdirectory gnu/hello/work.
$ ./gnu/hello/work/hello-2.8/src/hello Hello, world!
