## The Build System
The build system for Rust is complex. It covers bootstrapping the compiler,
running tests, building documentation and more.
Rust's build system allows you to bootstrap the compiler, run tests &
benchmarks, generate documentation, install a fresh build of Rust, and more.
It's your best friend when working on Rust, allowing you to compile & test
your contributions before submission.
If Makefiles are your thing, all the configuration lives in
[the `mk` directory][mkdir] in the project root. Is can be hard to follow
in places, as it uses some advanced Make features which make for some
challenging reading. If you have questions on the build system internals, try
asking in [`#rust-internals`][pound-rust-internals].
