3.6.2. Alternative make Arguments

There are several other make arguments that you can pass at compile time. While some of these will be discussed here, the remainder are used internally within the file and really have no bearing or use for the end user. (Of course, new functions may have been added, so be sure to check the Makefile for other options.)

Let's take a look at some useful make arguments.

3.6.2.1. make clean

The make clean command is used to remove the compiled binaries from within the source directory. This command should be run before you attempt to recompile or, if space is an issue, if you would like to clean up the files.
