<h2 class="chapter">Overview of <code>make</code></h2>

   <p>The <code>make</code> utility automatically determines which pieces of a large
program need to be recompiled, and issues commands to recompile them.
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 Smith.

   <p>GNU <code>make</code> conforms to section 6.2 of <cite>IEEE Standard
1003.2-1992</cite> (POSIX.2).

   <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.
