3) make

+4) make check
- This takes a bit of time (under 2 minutes on a modern machine) but
- is highly recommended. "make test" copies your configuration and
- rebuilds nmh completely in a sandbox, so you can test without
- disturbing an existing nmh installation or any of your nmh folders.

5) make install
If you wish to add options that are only used at compile time instead of
link time, you can use the CPPFLAGS variable:
+
./configure CPPFLAGS='-Wextra -Wno-sign-compare'
If you want to add to both compile and link flags at build time
-without putting them in the configuration, you can use an otherwise
-unused Makefile macro, like this:
- make AM_CFLAGS=--coverage
+without putting them in the configuration, you can use the AM_CFLAGS
+Makefile macro:
-That does not include that setting in the configuration, so you will
-have to repeat it if you re-run "make". One example would be if you
-build the test suite as a separate step:
- make test AM_CFLAGS=--coverage
-
-Note that the Makefile test target depends on the default target, so
-both be can built in one step with "make test".
+ make AM_CFLAGS=--coverage

Building nmh on additional architectures
program inside of repl (the idea is that it will be used by repl).
See mhl(1), specifically the "format" keyword and "formatproc" in
mh-profile(5).
