Modify a program or library.

A section on modifications is not yet written.

Install a program or library.

Programs and libraries can be installed to your sandbox or the shared public $G installation directories. The installation directory is named install_$GARCH; where $GARCH is the platform name (e.g. install_linux or install_WIN32). By default the installation directory is at the top of your sandbox; which can be your home directory or in the $G user area.

Advanced users can designate any location by setting the $GTO variable. This variable should be used with caution and you should fully understand its usage before setting it. When it is not set make files will prevent you from building or installing programs into any sub-directory of the public $G area. This protects public areas from accidental corruption.
