Read the makefile. :-) They're significantly different. World handles a whole bunch of possible dependency issues where `all' just runs things in order. > What the `make distribute' in src/Makefile does? And so on... Again, you should really look at the Makefile. :-) It's like an install, but it puts things into a subdirectory (distribution). > Could you tell me please, what are usable tags in src/Makefile > and in src/release/Makefile and what its for? For src/Makefile, you should simply look at the top where it says: # The intended user-driven targets are: # ... And src/release/Makefile is nothing you want to run unless you're making a complete release (and for this, we provide no tech support - if you want to walk that hairy path, you need to understand the Makefile *thoroughly* first anyway :-).
