  <title>Build targets</title>
  <p>
    A target is a file created from source files. Typically, it is a program
    or a library, but it could also be documentation if the documentation needs
    processing, for example.
  </p>
  <p>
    The build command compiles all needed source files, and possibly links them
    with some other files, like libraries, in order to create the target.
    If some source files are already compiled and haven't been modified,
    they are not be recompiled, in order to save time. There are several ways
    to trigger a build.
