Introduction
To build the required executables, go to a subdirectory of the project builder directory which
sounds like it would be appropriate for your host platform and run wmake. If you set up
everything correctly, you will end up with working binaries that were automatically copied
into the right subdirectory of the build directory, and that directory is already on the PATH.
If not, it’s back to square one — the most likely source of problems is incorrectly set up
setvars batch file.
If you’ve got this far — congratulations, you’ve finished the one-time steps. You shouldn’t
need to redo them unless you decide to start from scratch, your harddrive decides to die or
some similarly catastrophic event occurs.
You should now read the next chapter that describes the build architecture and also lists the
magic incantations necessary to invoke builds.
