GNU Make (gmake) is a UNIX Make clone from the GNU project. It allows to define dependencies, handles macros very easily and is quite a flexible tool for many purposes. Was very popular as a free make like tool on OS/2 a few years back, but most users have gone to the better maintained and mostly compatible CMake.
Version
- 3.8.1-r3 (2009-09-28) - Ported by Andreas Buening. There are several older GNU MAKE versions available for download at hobbes that might be more appropriate if you are either compiling an older project (EMX project for instance) or need a better grade of adaptation to using \ in paths instead of /.
