# Make

Stage for building executables using a GNU Make `Makefile` passed as a `provided` helper file.

- Kind: Grading Stage (currently)
- Behaviour: Runs a make (sub)command given the defined `Makefile`
- Throws:
  - [`FieldsIncorrectlyUsedError`](../../model/Config.md) if `_settings.lang` does not correspond to a distro
  
## Config

```
make:
  targets: [String]?    # target files to run against, which can sometimes be no targets [default: ""]
  args: [String]?       # arguments to the `make` command, including subcommands and flags
  additional_packages: [String]?  # any additional package to install as dependency to the container [default: []]
```

### Example

```yaml
make:
  targets: ["all"]
  args: ["-f", "Makefile2"]
```

This will run `make -f Makefile2 all`.

## Report

```
make:
  - isSuccess: Boolean    # whether the execution was successful, i.e. zero exit code
    stderr: [String]      # the standard errors generated during execution
```
