By now ‘configure’ has generated the output files such as a
‘Makefile’. Most projects include a ‘Makefile’ with a basic
set of well-known targets (see section Targets and dependencies). A
target is a name of a task that you want make
to perform –
usually it is to build all of the programs belonging to your package
(commonly known as the all target). From your build directory,
the following commands are likely to work for a configured package:
make all
Builds all derived files sufficient to declare the package built.
make check
Runs any self-tests that the package may have.
make install
Installs the package in a predetermined location.
make clean
Removes all derived files.
There are other less commonly used targets which are likely to be
recognized, particularly if the package includes a ‘Makefile’ which
conforms to the GNU ‘Makefile’ standard or is generated by
automake
. You may wish to inspect the generated
‘Makefile’ to see what other targets have been included.
