Here are several commands:
1) In /usr/src: "make build" -- cleans the entire source tree,
makes depend, builds libs, install libs, builds user
land, installs user land.
2) In /usr/src: "make" just compiles the entire tree. Should do a
"make includes" first.
3) In /usr/src/etc/etc.pc532: (after a make in /usr/src has completed)
"make distribution DESTDIR=/dir/to/build EXPORTABLE_SYSTEM=yes"
builds a distribution tree in the /dir/to/build.
4) In /usr/src/distrib/pc532/floppies: "make" to build an install file
system. (Needs the INSTALL kernel built.)
5) In /usr/src/distrib/sets: shell scritps to make the tar files ...
6) In /usr/src/distrib/notes: "make" to make the INSTALL.pc532 document.
And there may be other things to do in other places, like build kernels,
but that is basically the set I use.
