Re: (re)compiling from source

[Enrique Sanchez Vela <enrique_sanchez_vela-at-yahoo.com>]

the BDI Dev distro has a script that does that for you....check
 
     /usr/local/compile

 I dont have it in front of me, otherwise I would check it right away,
but I bet it is the name of the script. it should take care of
everything. 

  just run it from the command line, sit back and relax.

regards,
esv.
