makefile
A script which tells the Unix program "make" how to build a
particular computer program or set of programs. A makefile
contains variable assignments and rules of the form
target: inputs
commands
which say if any of the files in "inputs" has been modified
more recently than file "target" (or if the target does not
exist) then execute "commands", which will normally bulid
"target" from "inputs".
If make is run with no arguments, it looks for a makefile
called "Makefile" or "makefile".

Make (software)
In software development, Make is a build automation tool that builds executable programs and libraries from source code by reading files called Makefiles which specify how to derive the target program. Though integrated development environments and language-specific compiler features can also be used to manage a build process, Make remains widely used, especially in Unix and Unix-like operating systems.
Make can be used to manage any project where some files need to be updated automatically from others whenever the others change in addition to building programs.
