make: A GNU tool which simplifies the build process for users.

Name:	make	Vendor:
Version:	3.81	License:	GPL
Release:	1.1	URL:	http://www.gnu.org/software/make/

Summary

A GNU tool for controlling the generation of executables and other non-source files of a program from the program's source files. Make allows users to build and install packages without any significant knowledge about the details of the build process. The details about how the program should be built are provided for make in the program's makefile. The GNU make tool should be installed on your system because it is commonly used to simplify the process of installing programs.

- Applied (five years old) patch from Jonathan Kamens to allow make to
  handle several pattern-specific variables (#52962).

  The patch was changed so that it forces make to process pattern
  specific variables in the same order as they appear in file.
  (Upstream make behaves this way, too.)  This is change from old make
  behavior, which processed the variables in reverse order.  In case
  you used only x=a assignments, this had the effect of using the
  first pattern specific variable that matched.  For x+=a this just
  doesn't work, and it produces absolutely nonintuitive results.

- (It would be great if make's target-specific variables were handled
  the same way as pattern-specific ones, just without the pattern
  component.  However current handling is documented and considered a
  feature.)
