You don't have to build to test, you can run from source by typing "python
bp.py" on the command line in the src directory. I'd recommend doing this
before you try to build a distribution package.

To build a package there are two scripts to run, the first only has to be
run once.
packages/buildmodules.py
Buildrelease/makedist.py

You have to install a handful other pieces to get the build to work, pieces
you don't need to run from the source. I don't know of a list but you can
figure it out from the errors you get and by looking at the source.
