make: Integrating make
13 Integrating GNU 'make'
*************************
GNU 'make' is often one component in a larger system of tools, including
integrated development environments, compiler toolchains, and others.
The role of 'make' is to start commands and determine whether they
succeeded or not: no special integration is needed to accomplish that.
However, sometimes it is convenient to bind 'make' more tightly with
other parts of the system, both higher-level (tools that invoke 'make')
and lower-level (tools that 'make' invokes).
