29As described in <xref linkend="sect.HowToDefMain" /> of the
30Installation Guide, the GNUmake process in
31Geant4 is mainly controlled by the following GNUmake script files

62To build a single library (or a set of sub-libraries) or an
63executable, you must explicitly change your current directory to
64the one you're interested in and invoke the "<literal>gmake</literal>"
65command from there ("<literal>gmake global</literal>" for building a
66compound library). Here is a list of the basic commands or GNUmake
67"targets" one can invoke to build libraries and/or executables:

73 starts the compilation process for building a kernel library or a

78 The top level <literal>GNUmakefile</literal> in
