The GNU Make project creates Linux and Unix software by compiling code automatically that the user has written. When the user writes a program, they may use GNU Make to create a "makefile", and this essentially allows Make to build and install the program from that data. GNU Make is not limited to any particular language. Basically, GNU Make is a tool that controls the generation of executable files (an executable file is a file that causes a computer to perform tasks according to encoded instructions) and other non-source files for a program from the program's source files.

What is GNU in operating system?

GNU is a Free Software project which is essential to the Linux operating system. It is a project that provides and distributes a lot of the software which is essential to making a fully-functional operating system distribution based upon the Linux kernel. For example, the Linux tools/commands that allow you to enter and run commands, copy files from one directory to another, compress and uncompress files, search for strings within text files, and mount and unmount filesystems are all GNU-provided tools. In short, GNU is a project which provides a major portion of the base Linux operating system - besides Linux itself which is the kernel and is provided by a separate project. It does not however provide the entire rest of the operating system; primarily just the type of basic tools mentioned above (although a very lot of them). Some GNU software has also been ported to run on other operating systems also. Some people refer to the Linux operating system as GNU/Linux to reflect the major contribution which GNU provides to that operating system.
