 == Build Targets ==
 
-||{{{all}}}||Build everything except docs||
-||{{{deps}}}||Rebuild dependencies (this is usually done automatically)||
-||{{{runtime}}}||Build just the runtime system||
-||{{{external}}}||Build external libraries docs||
-||{{{libs}}}||Build base DDC libraries||
-||{{{doc}}}||Build Haddock docs||
-||{{{test}}}||Run the quick check and regression rests||
-||{{{clean}}}||Clean all .o .di .ddc.c .ddc.h .hi files from everywhere||
-||{{{cleanWar}}}||Clean up everything produced by DDC itself: libraries, tests, demos||
-||{{{cleanRuntime}}}||Clean up the runtime system||
-||{{{bin/ddc}}}||Build just the compiler||
-||{{{bin/war2}}}||Build just the test driver (for the war against bugs)||
-||{{{bin/plate}}}||Build just the boilerplate generator||
+Lots of useful build targets are listed at the top of the [http://code.haskell.org/ddc/ddc-head/Makefile Makefile]
 
-When hacking on DDC we usually use the the {{{bin/ddc}}} target to avoid trying to recompile the runtime system and external libs each time around.

+== Parallel Builds ==
+
+The makefile is set up to use the value of the `THREADS` variable wherever possible. 
+
+The default is currently 2, but if you have more then override this by creating a file `make/config-override.deps` containing
+
+{{{
+THREADS = 8     # or whatever
+}}}
