To build Lazarus from scratch you now have three
choices:

1. "make clean all"
This builds a default IDE with minimal packages.

2. "make clean bigide"
This builds a default IDE with some extra packages.

3. "make clean lazbuild useride"
This is equivalent to
make clean lazbuild
./lazbuild --build-ide=
It builds an IDE with your current profile and your set of installed
packages.

Updating:
After updating svn you can use the IDE (or lazbuild) to rebuild the
IDE and lazbuild.
The IDE (or lazbuild) will automatically clean up, which usually works
in 99%. If this fails, use the "clean" command in the configure build
lazarus dialog. If this fails use the "make" commands above. And always
have a backup of a good lazarus.exe. 
Note: lazbuild is a normal project (ide/lazbuild.lpi). To rebuild
lazbuild open the project and compile it.
