Make

Make is a build automation tool that automatically builds executable programs and libraries from source code by reading files called Makefiles, which specify how to derive the target program. It manages dependencies and ensures that only the necessary parts of a project are recompiled, improving efficiency in the development process.

About Make

Make was created in 1976 by Stuart Feldman. It was designed to automate the process of compiling and linking programs, managing dependencies, and determining which parts of a program needed recompilation. This tool significantly improved the efficiency of software development by reducing manual intervention and minimizing unnecessary recompilation.

Strengths of Make include its simplicity, wide adoption, and ability to manage complex build processes efficiently. Weaknesses include its cryptic syntax, limited scalability for very large projects, and difficulty in handling non-C/C++ projects. Competitors of Make include CMake, Ninja, Ant, Gradle, and SCons.
