Make utility

Atollic TrueSTUDIO® includes the GNU make utility. The make utility is used in unmanaged build mode where developers write and maintain a makefile manually to configure the project and its build mechanisms. For developers who prefer to configure the project in a graphical user environment instead of using makefiles, the managed build mode can be used. 

Some of the feature highlights of the make utility are:

• Handles file dependencies and relationships between files
• Builds various files as needed
• Parallell building of multiple files
• Multiple build targets
• Powerful rule definition language
• Makefile variables
• Conditional statements
• Wildcard & pattern support
• Path & directory management
• Text transformations to build command- or file names at build time
• Macro definitions
• Extensive set of command line options to control the operation

Atollic TrueSTUDIO® also includes a Makefile editor, with features such as colour coded syntax for the makefile language, expand/collapse of makefile sections, an outline view, etc.
