### Compiling release and debug builds

We have also created script files to build all libraries for your selected compiler in both 'debug' and 'release' modes. To build the debug libraries, go into the src directory and issue run the mkdebug script files. Ie:

cd scitech/src
mkdebug

To build the release libraries, go into the src directory and issue run the mkrelease script files. Ie:

cd scitech/src
mkrelease

All debug libraries end up under the lib/debug directory tree, and all release libraries end up under the lib/release directory tree. To link your own programs with the debug libraries, you set the environment variable CHECKED=1 (or set it on the dmake command line). This will tell the dmake makefile scripts to build in CHECKED debug mode (add extra runtime checks) as to get the libraries from the lib/debug directories. Otherwise the libraries are pulled from the lib/release directory.
