How do I build just the LatinIME package from AOSP?

I'm trying to test some changes that I made to the LatinIME package in AOSP. The problem is, that the documentation only shows how to build the entire thing.

What I really need to know is how to build a single package (in this case, LatinIME), from the command line

edit: What isn't made clear (at least to me), is that in the repo root directory, you can type make PACKAGE (e.g. `make LatinIME'), and it will build that. I haven't tested it thoroughly, but it does appear to build all the prerequisites of the required package as well.

You can build the single packages with a command: mmm -b packages/inputMethods/LatinIME

But be carefull, you can only build a package, which has a Android.mk file.

I think you want the mm or mmm command. See this documentation

Building only an individual program or module

If you use build/envsetup.sh, you can use some of the defined functions to build only a part of the tree. Use the 'mm' or 'mmm' commands to do this.

The 'mm' command makes stuff in the current directory (and sub-directories, I believe). With the 'mmm' command, you specify a directory or list of directories, and it builds those.

To install your changes, do 'make snod' from the top of tree. 'make snod' builds a new system image from current binaries.
