GNU Make is a build automation tool that helps developers automate the process of building software. It is part of the GNU project and is distributed under the GPL license.
Make uses a makefile to describe the dependencies between files in a project and the rules for building them. The makefile specifies a set of targets, each of which is associated with a set of dependencies and commands for building the target. Make uses the timestamps of files to determine whether a target is out of date and needs to be rebuilt.
Make is widely used in the Unix and Linux development community and is often used for building C and C++ programs, but it can also be used for other programming languages and tasks. Make can be invoked from the command line or integrated into an IDE or other development tool.
Some of the key features of GNU Make include its ability to automatically build only the files that need to be rebuilt, its support for parallel builds, its extensibility through user-defined functions and macros, and its ability to handle complex dependencies and build configurations. Overall, Make is a powerful tool for automating the build process and streamlining software development.
