Description

GNU Make is a free, open-source, cross-platform development tool for automating the compilation and linking of computer programs from source code to executable files. It is a program designed to simplify the build process for software development by providing a way to define dependencies among files and rules for rebuilding them when needed. GNU Make is used to compile and link programs written in C, C++, Fortran, Java, and other languages. It is also used to manage the build process for software packages and to automate the creation of libraries and executables. GNU Make is designed to be extensible with the ability to add user-defined rules. It is available for various operating systems including Linux, macOS, and Windows.
