This manual describes GNU <code>make</code>, which was implemented by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath. Development since Version 3.76 has been handled by Paul D. Smith. </p> <p>GNU <code>make</code> conforms to section 6.2 of <cite>IEEE Standard 1003.2-1992</cite> (POSIX.2). </p> <p>Our examples show C programs, since they are most common, but you can use <code>make</code> with any programming language whose compiler can be run with a shell command. Indeed, <code>make</code> is not limited to programs. You can use it to describe any task where some files must be updated automatically from others whenever the others change. </p> <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="preparing" accesskey="1">Preparing</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Preparing and running <code>make</code>. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="reading" accesskey="2">Reading</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">On reading this text. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="bugs" accesskey="3">Bugs</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Problems and bugs. </td> +</tr> </table><div class="_attribution"> + <p class="_attribution-p"> + Copyright © 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <br>Licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.<br> + <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Overview.html" class="_attribution-link">https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Overview.html</a> + </p> +</div> |
