# Building the Documentation

Follow these instructions to build the Cygwin/X documentation source code:

1. Open a shell on your documentation build host; you should see a window like the following:

       Username@CygwinHost ~
       $

2. Change the current directory to the documentation source code directory:

       Username@CygwinHost ~
       $ cd cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0

       Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0
       $

3. Create a `build` directory and change the current directory to that directory:

       Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0
       $ mkdir build

       Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0
       $ cd build

       Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0/build
       $

4. Configure the documentation source code:

       Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0/build
       $ ../configure

   > Note: Use ./configure --enable-hardcopy to enable building of all documentation formats, otherwise just HTML will be built

5. Build the documentation:

       Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0/build
       $ make all

6. Building the documentation is now complete.
