make is a utility used with UNIX operating system. You are right in your guess. The make utility is used for building object files from the source files. The object files thus created are then linked to create executable files.

By this approach of creating object files and executable files if there is any change in source file only the corresponding object file has be compiled and linked to executable. This avoids the process of recompiling all source files.

I got a basic idea about make and the use of make utility in UNIX operating system from this thread. Can you tell me how should I use or invoke the make utility in my UNIX operating system?
