About

A very short guide to GNU Make.

This guide was written to give a quickstart and pointers for using make together with Kerblam!, but can be read as a standalone document.

If you are looking for the full GNU make documentation, it can be found here. It's pretty long.

Shorthands and conventions

• Make (or make) is the GNU Make program, while make is the command make.
• Important notes or prenthetical elements are contained in boxes,

  Like this.

• Keywords or definitions are bold italics.

Notes

The \t character in code blocs is forcibly rendered as four spaces. I cannot easily change this, so read the example makefiles with a pinch of salt.
