GNU Make ( gmake for short ) is the GNU implementation of the make program, which is often used in the Unix world . Compared to the traditional range of functions, it contains a number of extensions. GNU make is not fully compatible with make , because the backslash character is not handled in a POSIX-compliant manner, and since the shell calls are made without the '-e' option, GNU make does not always abort further processing as expected after a failed command call.
The GNU version is usually installed as the make utility on Linux computers. From version 4.0, GNU Guile is supported as an extension language.
GNU Make was implemented by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath . As of version 3.76, further development is led by Paul D. Smith.
