1. make est un logiciel qui construit automatiquement des fichiers, souvent exécutables, ou des bibliothèques à partir d'éléments de base tels que du code source. Il utilise des fichiers appelés makefile qui spécifient comment construire les fichiers cibles. À la différence d'un simple script shell, make exécute les commandes seulement si elles sont nécessaires. Le but est d'arriver à un résultat (logiciel compilé ou installé, documentation créée, etc.) sans nécessairement refaire toutes les étapes. make est particulièrement utilisé sur les plateformes UNIX.
