Building and creating the executables


This step compiles all the source files and generates the executables. The makefile created in the configure step is used by the gmake utility. These files are not copied to standard directories, such as bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, and so on. We have the option to make all the options available (the contrib modules, source, and so on), or just the core. It's also possible to build just the core now and add the necessary contrib modules later on. We will build everything now, rather than adding the necessary modules later. Hence, the command is:
