Compiling in Thorns

Cactus will try to compile all thorns listed in configs/<config>/ThornList. The ThornList file is simply a list of the form <arrangement>/<thorn>. All text after a pound sign `#', or exclamation mark `!' on a line is treated as a comment and is ignored. If you did not specify a ThornList already during configuration the first time that you compile a configuration, you will be shown a list of all the thorns in your arrangement directory, and asked if you want to edit them. You can regenerate this list at anytime by typing

gmake <config>-thornlist

,

or you can edit it using

gmake <config>-editthorns

.

Instead of using the editor to specify the thorns you want to have compiled, you can edit the ThornList outside the make process. It is located in configs/<config>/ThornList, where <config> refers to the name of your configuration. The directory ./configs exists after the very first make phase for the first configuration.
