The makefile generated by cmake has a number of targets depending on the components that were found. This page lists the most important ones; to get a complete list run:

make help

make install wiki page describes the layout of the installed package. Since building the entire package may take a long time depending on the architecture, building only specific components may save some time; here are some:

Important ones

Common CMake targets

The common targets are present: all, depend, rebuild_cache, edit_cache, install, clean, and test.

Atoms

The base library for atom manipulation is atomspace; this is a shared library with support code.

A custom target is also used: opencog_atom_types helps in generating atom types behind the scene.

Two helper programs are produced: atomspace_async for testing and atomspace_bm for benchmarking.

server

builtinreqs is a shared library that groups build-in requests. server is the shared library representing the actual server that gets linked into cogserver - the program.
