1.7 harris41 67: What basically happens is that specially marked-up data in the LON-CAPA
68: cvs repository file <TT>doc/loncapafiles.html</TT> is parsed into a more
69: viewable format by <TT>loncom/build/parse.pl</TT>. The resulting
70: file gives a very well organized view of all the files, directories,
71: links, ownerships, permissions, and brief documentation of what each
72: file does.

95: <TT>loncom/build/parse.pl</TT> reads in all the build information out
1.10 ! harris41 96: of <TT>doc/loncapafiles/loncapafiles.html</TT>. A new Makefile named
1.8 harris41 97: <TT>loncom/build/Makefile.build</TT> is dynamically constructed.
98: This dynamically generated Makefile is then run to build/compile
99: all the software targets from source. This currently takes 10 minutes
100: (depends on the speed of the machine you compile with).
