-The first command "cm" will check your system (and the dependency directory) for all needed libraries, create the configuration and generate the makefiles. The second "make" command builds Orxonox. If you have a multicore CPU, use "make -j3" instead of just "make". If you get an error while executing one of those steps, report it in the [http://forum.orxonox.net/ Forum] or ask us in [irc://irc.orxonox.net/orxonox IRC].

+If you have a multicore CPU, use the {{{-j [arg]}}} option for {{{make}}} (where {{{[arg]}}} is the number of parallel build threads). For example {{{make -j3}}} will spawn 3 threads, which is a reasonable number for a dual-core CPU.

 Compiling will take some time (CMake shows you the percentage). Be patient.[[br]]

+== Run Orxonox ==
 If everything worked fine, start Orxonox with {{{c:\<msys-homedir>\trunk\build\run.bat}}} (you can't execute orxonox.exe directly).
