Hello,
What is the standard way for me to get the source and build it from
scratch?
I've started using cvs to checkout the modules. That was very confusing
because there were so many modules to play with. After getting a few
files here and there, I couldn't find an entry point to do a "make".
Eventually I got hold of the srcInclude with file name extention
-I20080415-1646.zip. I've built that with compile error, submitted a bug
and waited a few weeks. After that I see that the srcInclude has a link
with status such as "build failed status". I waited for a good build but
even that got an error as well. Eventually that link went away
entirely. I could only get a build called a nice even release number
called srcIncluded-3.3.zip. However that one came with error below.
Also I came across the news group called eclipse.release or something
along that line, but I couldn't find that newsgroup, so now I have to
resort to this one.

Eventually I want to see a documentation on how the build command
traverses the directory and compile the code in certain order and what
the module means, but that's a much later step.
