That was a just small silly mistake from my side.
Anyway, thank you.
So, I was able to build and install MM 3.0 successfully.
But I want to know how should I go forward with making changes in code. I
mean, do it need to re-install it from source to check the results, every
time i make some changes in the code or is there any other way out.
