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).
