Just cd to the directory where you have placed
build.xml and give the command
antto build the document set. This may take several minutes the first time you do it. After that, successive invocations of ant will usually only rerun commands required based upon which source files have changed since the most recent build.

ant documentNamewhere the documentName matches the targetdoc

ant clean
