# Autotools build plugin

This plugin is targeted at autotools projects but as they use make it is useful for other kind of projects using make.

# Make command used

Here is a list of the targets used by the plugin. They are implemented in all autotools projects but you need to implement them if you use a custom makefile.

## make object_file_name

Use to compile an source file. The object file name is found by replacing the source file extension with the corresponding object extension.

## make

Använd för att bygga alla mål i en katalog.

## make install

Använd för att installera alla mål i en katalog.

## make clean

Använd för att ta bort alla filer som byggts i en katalog.

## make dist

Use to build a distribution package, called only in the project directory.

As make comes with default rules allowing it to compile and link a C program without needing a makefile. You can compile a C program from a single source file without a makefile nor a project.
