Questions tagged [make]

Make is a utility that automatically builds executable programs and libraries from source code by reading files called makefiles which specify how to derive the target program.

Make can decide where to start through topological sorting. Though integrated development environments and language-specific compiler features can also be used to manage the build process in modern systems, Make remains widely used, especially in Unix.
