The make utility is commonly used on many platforms to control building software. It determines which sources files of a very large program changed and issues commands to rebuild the binary files that are dependant on them. The GNU make utility contains all the functionality that is found in a standard make facility, but it also includes many useful extensions that help in describing how software is built.
What is LSB? The LSB is an application binary interface (ABI) for Linux and Linux-compatible platforms. The LSB draws on the source standards of the IEEE POSIX standards and The Open Group's Single UNIX Specification for many of its behavioral interface definitions.
