+===============
+Build Reference
+===============
+
+Xnt has several "build" modules to aid you in your compliation and project/
+sub-project build steps
+
+Overview
+========
+
+* `Make`_
+
+* `Compiler Collection`_
+
+Make
+====
+
+Apache Ant
+----------
+
+.. _xnt.build.make.ant:
+.. function:: ant(path="", target="")
+
+    Invoke Apache Ant in either the current working directory or the specified
+    directory using the empty (default) target or the specified target.
+
+Gnu Make
+--------
+
+.. _xnt.bulid.make.make:
+.. function:: make(path="", target="")
+
+    Invoke Gnu Make (*make*) in either the current working directory or the
+    specified directory using the empty (default) target or the specified
+    target.
+
+(.NET)Ant
+---------
+
+.. _xnt.build.make.nant:
+.. function:: nant(path="", target="")
+
+    Invoke NAnt in either the current working directory or the specified
+    directory using the empty (default) target or the specified target.
+
+Compiler Collection
+===================
+
+For all compilers so far, Xnt assumes they are installed and in your `$PATH`.
+If they are not, an error will be thrown (by subprocess)
+
+gcc/g++
+-------
+
+.. _xnt.build.cc.gcc:
+.. function:: gcc(src, flags=[])
+
+    Compile `src` with the `gcc` to the default `out` (:ref:`defaultOut`) of
+    that source. Passing `flags` as given.
+
+.. _xnt.build.cc.gcc_o:
+.. function:: gcc_o(src, o, flags=[])
+
+    Compile `src` with `gcc` to the out file specified by `o`. Passing `flags`
+    as given.
+
+.. _xnt.build.cc.gpp:
+.. function:: gpp(src, flags=[])
+
+    Compile `src` with `g++` to the default `out` (:ref:`defaultOut`) of that
+    source. Passing `flags` as given.
+
+.. _xnt.bulid.cc.gpp_o:
+.. function:: gpp_o(src, o, flags=[])
+
+    Compile `src` with `g++` to the out file specified by `o`. Passing `flags`
+    as given.
+
+Javac
+-----
+
+.. _xnt.build.cc.javac:
+.. function:: javac(src, flags=[])
+
+    Compile `src` with `javac` to the default out file for the source. Passing
+    `flags` as given.
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+.. _defaultOut:
+
+Default out
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Most, if not all, compilers have a default name given to compiled binaries when
+no output file name is given. For example, `gcc` will give code with a `main`
+method a name of `a.out` or `%.o` for objects, and so on. `javac` defaults to
+`<class-name>.class`.
+
+.. _recompile:
+
+Recompile
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+At the current moment, all compile wrappers do not do "smart" checks for
+compilation. That is, *all* compile steps will `rebuild` regardless if the
+binary file is modified later than the source file. This would be a nice
+feature, but I fear it would be too expensive (complicated) and out of the
+scope of this project to implement correctly.
