[Matthew Brush]

> +With the build system configured, we're ready to compile and link Geany
+into an executable program::
+
+    $ make
+
+This usually takes a few minutes, depending on the speed of your
+system. This step is where you'll get all of your compilation errors
+so if you've change the source code, take heed of the warning/error
+messages reported here.
+
+If you have multiple CPUs/cores you can pass the `-j` option to `make`
+to have it spin up the specified number of concurrent processes where
+possible to complete the compilation and linking stages in less time.
+Geany's build system is incremental, so after you hack on the code and
+want to rebuild, you can run `make` again and only the needed files
+will be built, which makes it much faster than the initial build.

*will be _re-built_
