If you want to run or update a task when certain files are updated, the
make
utility can come in handy. Themake
utility requires a file,Makefile
(ormakefile
), which defines set of tasks to be executed. You may have usedmake
to compile a program from source code. Most open source projects usemake
to compile a final executable binary, which can then be installed usingmake install
.In this article, we'll explore
make
andMakefile
using basic and advanced examples. Before you start, ensure thatmake
is installed in your system.
