Like in all programming - have a lot of patience ;)

I run "make" in the root MD directory. Building MD
from inside MD should
work most of the time, but you need to autogen and do a
clean make from
the cmd line before that.

You can just disable the add-in using the MD add-in manager
available at
the "Tools/Addin Manager" menu, or by running
"mdtool gsetup".

Checkout two source code trees in your system: one to use
as
"production" (the one you will use to run MD for
your daily work), and
one for "development" (the one you'll actually be
modifying). So, you
start the production MD and open the development MD project.
Keep an
open console in the development MD dir, and use make, make
clean, make
run or whatever you need to do.

I hope that helps!
Lluis.
