Make

     (program) A program used to maintain multifile program systems.  A make
     program takes as its input a file (make file) specifying the
     relationships between files.  When executed the make program compares
     the date and time stamps of specified target files to the specified
     dependent files.  If any of the dependent files have a more recent date
     and time stamp than the associated target files, a series of actions are
     performed.
