Question about Building an Unofficial Version of EnergyPlus

Hello everyone,

I am trying to compile a modified version of EnergyPlus source code, -unofficial version-, following the guidelines outlined in NREL EnergyPlus wiki page.

My question is: Does compiling the executable for EnergyPlus generate the entire software package, allowing users to install it as a standalone version, or does it only generate the necessary files that should be integrated (copy/past) into an existing official EnergyPlus directory?

If anyone has successfully built an unofficial version, could you please confirm?

Thanks in advance!
