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.
