GNU Make 4 released

GNU head imageThe GNU Project has announced the release of version 4 of GNU Make, the software’s latest stable version.

Make is a utility that automatically builds executable programs and libraries from source code by reading files called makefiles which specify how to derive the target program.

This latest version provides support for Guile integration as an embedded scripting language for makefiles, as well as other new features and many bug fixes and performance improvements. There are also some backward-incompatibilities.

Potential users are advised to read the NEWS file that comes with the GNU make distribution for complete details on changes visible to the user.

Make can be downloaded from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/.
