| Description | An application that rebuilds (or "makes") a software program after changes have been made to the source code. make determines the minimum number of files that have to be recompiled to successfully update the program. It does this by checking which files have changed, and which other files are dependent on those files. make is especially common on UNIX systems, where many programs have to be compiled before use. |
