<div class="paragraph"><p>Erlang.mk relies on <em>Relx</em> for generating releases. This
chapter covers the Erlang.mk-specific bits. Consult the

<div class="sect1">

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Erlang.mk will create a release if it detects a Relx configuration
file in the <em>$(RELX_CONFIG)</em> location. This defaults to
<em>$(CURDIR)/relx.config</em>. You can override it by defining
the variable before including Erlang.mk:</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>Relx does not need to be installed. Erlang.mk will download
and build it automatically.</p></div>

location defaults to <em>$(CURDIR)/relx</em> and can be overriden.</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>While you can specify the output directory for the release
in the Relx options directly, Erlang.mk provides a specific
variable for it: <code>RELX_OUTPUT_DIR</code>. It defaults to the <em>_rel</em>
directory. You can also override it:</p></div>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Now that you&#8217;re all set, all you need to do is generate the
release. As mentioned before, Erlang.mk will automatically
generate it when it detects the <em>$(RELX_CONFIG)</em> file. This
means the following command will also build the release:</p></div>

use to check things as needed.</p></div>
