Capabilities of Make Make enables the end user to build and install your package without knowing the details of how that is done -- because these details are recorded in the makefile that you supply. Make figures out automatically which files it needs to update, based on which source files have changed. It also automatically determines the proper order for updating files, in case one non-source file depends on another non-source file. Make is not limited to any particular language.
For each non-source file in the program, the makefile specifies the shell commands to compute it. These shell commands can run a compiler to produce an object file, the linker to produce an executable, ar to update a library, or TeX or Makeinfo to format documentation.
Make is not limited to building a package. You can also use Make to control installing or deinstalling a package, generate tags tables for it, or anything else you want to do often enough to make it worth while writing down how to do it.
Make Rules and Targets A rule in the makefile tells Make how to execute a series of commands in order to build a target file from source files. Here is what a simple rule looks like: target: dependencies Mailing lists Make has the following mailing lists: bug-make is used to discuss most aspects of Make, including development and enhancement requests, as well as bug reports. Getting involved Development of Make, and GNU in general, is a volunteer effort, and you can contribute.
Test releases Trying the latest test release when available is always appreciated. If GNU tools are not required, it is recommended that Windows users see one of the following sections:.
Download binaries. CMake with Visual Studio for Windows. Download and install Cygwin bit. You will need to Run as Administrator to complete the installation process. Choose Install from internet. Choose Direct connection. See next step for select packages. If you don't know what to install, just follow this Cygwin tutorial Part 1 and 2.
CMake is already included inside the packages you downloaded if you followed this Cygwin tutorial. So no need to download it from the official website. Be careful though if you installed CMake as an independant program because with Cygwin you won't use the one downloaded from the official website. Indeed the cmake command from Cygwin calls the cmake.
Anyway, if you want to know which version you are using, type the following command in your favorite CLI:. It takes 2 arguments, the first is the name of the executable and the second is the name of source files needed to generate this executable. It's of course possible to add more than 1 file for this second parameter, but here we have only 1 file. Congratulations if you read until here, you did it! Sunday, August 30, - am. Viewed 16k times. You must install make not automake from Cygwin setup.
You can install both, but please use apt-cyg with apt-cyg install make automake to make your Cygwin life a lot easier.

Notes : Automake or any package, as a matter of fact is downloaded in the noarch dir , when it's compatible with any OS Cygwin , in this case architecture 32 bit and 64 bit currently , meaning that it doesn't contain binaries.
