When developing I usually do select just a basic selection. Then I run
   make mrproper build install

After that I add the package I'm working on an then I test this by running
   cd scripts
   ./build.sh build opt=mypackage

This way you can check that your stuff compiles. After that run
   ./build.sh install opt=mypackage

Now
   make iso  (optinaly followed by a "make dist")
should give you a trial version with the just added software.

Usually just the above mentioned commands.

This is only needed if things look really strange and you want to start
from the very beginning.

PS: Please subscribe to the devolper mailinglist and we'll continue this
track there.
