`make`
- Call a specific target:
2016-01-04 10:23:09 +00:00
`make {{target}}`
2016-01-04 10:23:09 +00:00
2017-06-06 19:56:14 +01:00
- Call a specific target, executing 4 jobs at a time in parallel:
2018-09-03 13:26:46 +01:00
`make -j{{4}} {{target}}`
2017-06-06 19:56:14 +01:00
- Use a specific Makefile:
2016-01-04 10:23:09 +00:00
`make --file {{file}}`
2016-01-04 10:23:09 +00:00

2016-01-04 10:23:09 +00:00
`make --directory {{directory}}`
2016-07-05 15:21:56 +01:00

2016-07-05 15:21:56 +01:00
`make --always-make {{target}}`
- Override a variable defined in the Makefile:
`make {{target}} {{variable}}={{new_value}}`
- Override variables defined in the Makefile by the environment:
`make --environment-overrides {{target}}`
