Binary Distribution Builds

Binary distributions are prebuilt components that speed the compilation process. To build a binary distribution of the EXAMPLES component, make the EXAMPLES.dist makefile target.

host% make EXAMPLES.dist

The EXAMPLES.dist makefile target creates an independent distribution of examples as a subdirectory, dist-EXAMPLES, of the build directory. This examples directory can be displaced and handled as a single entity, and used as directory of binaries with the -b option of the configure(1CC) build tool.
