Learn / Make
This documentation provides resources to learn about the make software,
which is used to automate compiling software based on dependencies.
In particular, make is often used to compile C, C++, and Fortran programs,
although it is also used to automate many tasks based on dependencies.
This documentation has been written based on experience using make at the Open Water Foundation.
