Maybe the make authors could compile a list of options somewhere and ship it with their program, so users could read them? Something like a text file or using some typesetting language. This would make that knowledge much more accessible.
- tux1968 1y agomake --help Will give you the command line options. And GNU make has decent documentation online for everything else: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/index.html https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/index.htm...
- moefh 1y agoNot sure if you're being snarky, but the manual has a list of all options accepted by make: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Options-Summary.html https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Options-S... (`make --help` will only print the most common options)
- gbacon 1y agoThat's really not necessary. Everyone here knows where to find the manual, and we all also know it has a considerable volume of information.
