## Chapter 5. The Documentation Build Process

This chapter covers organization of the documentation build process and how make(1) is used to control it.

## 5.1. The FreeBSD Documentation Build Toolset

These are the tools used to build and install the FDP documentation.

- The primary build tool is make(1), specifically Berkeley Make.

- Package building is handled by FreeBSD's pkg_create(1).

- gzip(1) is used to create compressed versions of the document. bzip2(1) archives are also supported. tar(1) is used for package building.

- install(1) is used to install the documentation.
