make 3.80
Summary
Description: GNU make utility to build software
Source: http://www.gnu.org/software/make/
Support
This package is available for all platforms. This package is unsupported and provided on an as-is basis.
Description
The purpose of the make utility is to determine automatically which pieces of a large program need to be recompiled, and issue the commands to recompile them. You can use make with any programming language whose compiler can be run with a shell command. In fact, make 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.
GNU make is a powerful, portable implementation of make that supports POSIX-standard makefiles and also supports a variety of extensions and additional features above those required by the standard.
