+/// \page build Building From Source
+///
+/// The C runtime is provided in source code form only as there are too many binary
+/// versions to sensibly maintain binaries on www.antlr.org.
+///
+/// The runtime code is provided with .sln and .vcproj files for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008,
+/// and \b configure files for building and installation on UNIX or other systems that support this tool. If your
+/// system is neither Windows nor \b configure compatible, then you should find it
+/// reasonable to build the code manually (see section "Building Manually".)
+///
+/// \section src Source Code Organization
+///
+/// The source code expands from a tar/zip file to give you the following
+/// directories:
+///
+/// - <b>./</b> The location of the configure script and the antlr3config.h file
+/// generated by the running the configure script.This directory also
+/// contains the solution and project files for visual studio 2005 and
+/// 2008.
+/// - <b>./src</b> The location of all the C files in the project.
+/// - <b>./include</b> The location of all the header files for the project
+/// - <b>./doxygen</b> The location of documentation files such as the one that generates this page
+/// - Other ancillary directories used by the build or documentation process.
+///
+/// \section winbuild Building for Windows
+///
+/// If you are building for Cygwin, or a similar UNIX on Windows System, follow the "Building With Configure" instructions below.
+///
+/// Note that the runtime is no longer compatible with the VC6 Microsoft compiler. If you absolutely need to build with
+/// this compiler, you can probably hack the source code to deall with the pieces that VC6 cannot handle such as the
+/// ULL suffix for constants.
+///
+/// If you wish to build the binaries for Windows using Visual Studio 2005, or 2008 you may build using the IDE:
+/// -# Open the C.sln file
+/// -# Select batch Build from the Build menu
+/// -# Select all configurations and press the build button.
+///
+/// If you wish or need to build the libraries from the command line, then you must
+/// use a Windows command shell configured for access to VS2005/VS2008 compilers, such as the one that is
+/// started from:
+///
+/// <i>Start->Microsoft Visual Studio 2005->Visual Studio Tools->Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt</i>
+///
+/// There appears to be no way to build all targets at once in a batch mode from the command line,
+/// so you may build one or all of the following:
+/// \verbatim
+ C:\antlrsrc\code\antlr\main\runtime\C> DEVENV C.sln /Build ReleaseDLL
+ C:\antlrsrc\code\antlr\main\runtime\C> DEVENV C.sln /Build Release
+ C:\antlrsrc\code\antlr\main\runtime\C> DEVENV C.sln /Build DebugDLL
+ C:\antlrsrc\code\antlr\main\runtime\C> DEVENV C.sln /Build Debug
+\endverbatim
+///
+/// After the build is complete you will find the \c.\cDLL and \c.\cLIB files under the directory containing C.sln,
+/// in a subdirectory named after the /Build target. In the Release and Debug targets, you will find that there is only a \c.\cLIB archive file,
+/// which you can link directly into your own projects if you wish to avoid the DLL. In \c ReleaseDLL and \c DebugDLL you will find both a
+/// \c .LIB file which you should link your projects with and a DLL. The library and names on Windows are as follows:
+///
+/// \verbatim
+ - ReleaseDLL : ANTLR3C.DLL and ANTLR3C_DLL.LIB
+ - DebugDLL : ANTLR3CD.DLL and ANTLR3CD_DLL.LIB
+ - Release : ANTLR3C.LIB
+ - Debug : ANTLR3CD.LIB
+\endverbatim
+///
+/// There currently no .msi modules or other installs built for Windows, so you must place the DLLs in a directory referenced
+/// by the PATH environment variable and make the include directory available to your project configurations.
+///
+///
+/// \section configure Building with configure
+///
+/// Before starting, make sure that you are using a source code distribution and not the source code directly from the
+/// Perforce repository. If you use the source from the perforce tree directly, you will find that there is no configure
+/// script as this is generated as part of the distribution build by the maintainers. If you feel the need to build from
+/// the distribution tree then you must have all the autobuild packages available on your system and can generate the
+/// configure script using autoreconf. If you are not familiar with these tools, then please use the tgz files in the
+/// dist subdirectory (or downloaded from the ANTLR web site).
+///
+/// The source code file should be expanded in a directory of your choice (probably your working directory) using the command:
+///
+/// \verbatim
+gzip -dc antlrtgzname.tar.gz | tar xvf -
+\endverbatim
+///
+/// Where: <b>antlrtgzname.tar.gz</b> is of course the name of the tar when you downloaded it. You should find a \b configure script in the sub directory thus created.
+///
+/// The configure script accepts the usual options, such as --prefix= but the default is to build in the source directory and to place libraries in
+/// <b>/usr/local/lib</b> and include files (for building your recognizers) in <b>/usr/local/include</b>. There are also a number of antlr specific options, which you may wish to utilize. The command:
+/// \verbatim
+./configure --help
+\endverbatim
+///
+/// Will document the latest incarnations of these options in case this documentation is ever out of date. At this time the options are:
+///
+/// \verbatim
+ --enable-debuginfo Compiles debug info into the library (default no)
+ --enable-64bit Turns on flags that produce 64 bit object code if
+ any are required (default no)
+\endverbatim
+///
+/// Unless you need 64 bit builds, or a change in library types, you will generally use the configure command without options:
+///
+/// Here is a sample configure output:
+///
+/// \verbatim
+[jimi@localhost dist]$ tar zvxf libantlr3c-3.0.0-rc8.tar.gz

+/// \section buildman Building Manually
+///
+/// The only step that configure performs that cannot be done
+/// manually (without effort) is to produce the header file
+/// \c antlr3config.h, which contains typedefs of the fundamental types
+/// that your local C compiler supports. The easiest way to produce
+/// this file for your system, if you cannot port \b automake and \b configure
+/// to the system is:
+///
+/// -# Run configure on a system that does support configure
+/// -# Copy the generated \c antlr3config.h file to the target system
+/// -# Edit the file locally and change any types that differ on this
+/// system to the target systems. There are only a few types and you should
+/// find this relatively easy.
+///
+/// Having produced a compatible antlr3config.h file, then you should be able to
+/// compile the source files in the \c ./src subdirectory, providing an include path
+/// to the location of \c antlr3config.h and the \c ./include subdirectory. Something akin
+/// to:
+/// \verbatim
+
+~/C/src: cc -c -O -I.. -I../include *.c
+
+\endverbatim
+///
+/// Having produced the .o (or equivalent) files for the local system you can then
+/// build an archive or shared library for the C runtime.
+///
+/// When you wish to build and link with the C runtime, specify the path to the
+/// supplied header files, and the path to the library that you built.
