Source compile method

[wsxdrfv]

So for newest source, doc says how to compile,

Cd ~/xxxxcoin/
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make clean
sudo make install


So after I revise some source, I should do these line all again from ./autogen.sh?
or can I skip  ./autogen.sh  and ./configure, and just type [make] and [sudo make install]?
What commands are essential to recompile?

Thanks.

Firstly, there is no need to do make clean after make, that will just undo everything you just built. Rather you should do that before running make so that you are guaranteed to rebuild everything, but usually there is no need to do so.

You can skip the autogen.sh and configure steps if your changes did not touch any of the Makefile related things (Makefile.am, configure.ac, etc.).

Best advice you will get! Doing a clean make every time will kill you with boredom.
