- A file (usually named “Makefile”) containing a set of directives used by a make build automation tool to generate a target. A makefile works upon the principle that files only need recreating if their dependencies are newer than the file being created. The makefile is recursively carried out until everything has been updated and the ultimate target is complete. ← Wikipedia
