How do I build from CVS?

[Colin Paul Adams]

How do I build xalan-c from CVS? There isn't a trace of documentation
that I can see.
I changed to the c directory. Noting the presence of a build.xml, I
tried typing:

ant

That produces:

Buildfile: build.xml

prepare:
   [gunzip] Expanding /home/colin/xml-xalan/c/xdocs/xml-site-style.tar.gz to 
/home/colin/xml-xalan/c/xdocs/xml-site-style.tar
    [untar] Expanding: /home/colin/xml-xalan/c/xdocs/xml-site-style.tar into 
/home/colin/xml-xalan/c/xdocs
   [delete] Deleting: /home/colin/xml-xalan/c/xdocs/xml-site-style.tar
    [mkdir] Created dir: /home/colin/xml-xalan/c/build/docs/apidocs
    [mkdir] Created dir: /home/colin/xml-xalan/c/xml-site/apidocs

BUILD SUCCESSFUL


I was particularly impressed with the BUILD SUCESSFUL bit!
