Computing

Make The Unix tool to automate the recompilation, linking etc. of programs, taking account of the interdependencies of modules and their modification times. Make reads instructions from a "makefile" which specifies a set of targets to be built, the files they depend on and the commands to execute in order to produce them. Most C systems come with a make. There is also one produce by GNU. ["Make - A Program for Maintaining Computer Programs", A.I. Feldman, TR No 57, Bell Labs Apr 1977]. (1995-01-05). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.

Tips from 1870

Usage: Make, Manufacture. These words may, in some cases, be used interchangeably, but make has much the wider range of meanings. The following story, related by Eli Perkins, will illustrate this fact:
I was talking one day with Mr. Depew, President of the New York Central Railroad, about demand and supply. I said the price of any commodity is always controlled by the demand and supply.
"Not always, Eli," said Depew; "demand and supply don't always govern prices. Business tact sometimes governs them."
"When," I asked, "did an instance ever occur when the price did not depend on demand and supply?" "Well," said Mr. Depew, "the other day I stepped up to a German butcher, and, out of curiosity, asked:
"'What's the price of sausages?'
"'Dwenty cends a bound,' he said.
"'You asked twenty-five this morning,' I replied.
"'Yah; dot vas ven I had some. Now I ain't got none, I sell him for dwenty cents. Dot makes a repudation for selling cheab, und I don't lose noddings.'
"You see," said Mr. Depew, laughing, "I didn't want any sausage and the man didn't have any; no demand and no supply, and still the price of sausage went down five cents."
"Well, there are strange things in this world," I said. "Now, take the words manufacture and make. I always thought that both words meant the same thing."
"Why, they do, Eli," said Mr. Depew.
"Not always," I said.
"Now, when could they have a different meaning?"
"Why, this morning I came down from Albany on a Central car manufactured to carry fifty passengers, but it was made to carry seventy-two people."
"Yes, I dare say; but we'll now talk about the Behring Sea question." Source: Slips of Speech.

Specialty Definition: Make

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Definition and Modern Usage

make is a computer program to help to compile needed files automatically by parsing a make file and dealing with a program's dependencies. Other installation and configuration methods are used for programs without dependencies.

Although this is its most typical use, Make is also used in other programs as a way of defining what to do when something has changed, and thus triggering appropriate responses within the program.

Other versions of Make

cmake is a portable makefile utility. It requires the Cmake lists file to be present and does not seem at present to support the diving makefile concept. You must specify the path "." even if it is the current directory.

ex: cmake [space] . to specify the current directory.

Makefile utilities are frequently used to handle the compilation and/or installation of large pieces of software. Make reads the makefile at current working directory by default, which is a common practice among computer programmers.

It can be used to compile only certain subsets of an item or suite of software, and can account for dependencies between various parts of the software. Its input is a list of specifications (usually known as a makefile) describing dependency relationships between the generation of files and programs. Make has its roots in Unix. Since it is old, many derived tools have appeared that work better. Among these are BSD make, GNU make and A-A-P.

makefile is a text file on the computer that states how to build executable computer programs or many other files according to given dependency. Make program runs it.

The file commonly is maintained in the base directory of a project during the development process. This file lists all of the files in the project and describes the action that needed to be taken on that file to create it or bring it up to date. The Makefile is used by the command 'make'. The 'make' program has some intelligence built in and will not attempt to re-make files that are not out of date. For example it will typically not recompile source that has not changed since its last compile (determined by comparison of dates of files).

A Makefile consists of commands like this:

foo.o: foo.c foo.h bar.h
      gcc -o foo.o foo.c

logobig.ppm: logo.pov
      $(POVRAY) logo.pov -k0 -o logobig.ppm

The first command means that if foo.c, foo.h, or bar.h is newer than foo.o, then foo.o should be remade by running gcc. foo.o is said to depend on foo.c, foo.h, and bar.h. The second says that logobig.ppm depends on logo.pov and can be made by running POV-Ray.

Most Makefiles are used to compile programs, but they can be used in any situation where files are made from one another by programs that can be called from the command line.

A sample makefile

# Specify compiler
CC      = g++

# Specify compiler options CFLAGS = -g LDFLAGS = -L/usr/openwin/lib LDLIBS = -lX11 -lXext

# Needed to recognize .cpp as a file suffix .SUFFIXES: $(SUFFIXES) .cpp

# Executable name PROG = life

# List of object file needed for the final program OBJS = main.o window.o Board.o Life.o BoundedBoard.o all: $(PROG)

# Program compilation and linking steps $(PROG): $(OBJS) $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(LDLIBS) -o $(PROG) $(OBJS)

.cpp.o: $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $*.cpp

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

SCARABEE, n. The same as scarabaeus. He fell by his own hand Beneath the great oak tree. He'd traveled in a foreign land. He tried to make her understand The dance that's called the Saraband, But he called it Scarabee. He had called it so through an afternoon, And she, the light of his harem if so might be, Had smiled and said naught. O the body was fair to see, All frosted there in the shine o' the moon -- Dead for a Scarabee And a recollection that came too late. O Fate! They buried him where he lay, He sleeps awaiting the Day, In state, And two Possible Puns, moon-eyed and wan, Gloom over the grave and then move on. Dead for a Scarabee! Fernando Tapple
