Source File Organization

You receive source packages in read-only mode. The fact that the source files are kept in the source directory, separate from your work directory, has the following advantages

• It prevents the source code from being corrupted during a build.

• It allows you to generate configurations for different targets.

• It permits several users to use the same source code simultaneously.

If you need to modify the source code, use your own copy of the initial source package that you received.
