make:tldr:f42f7

make: Force making of a target, even if source files are unchanged.

make

$ make --always-make ${target}

try on your machine

This command is a make command that specifies the target to be built by executing the makefile.

Here is a breakdown of the components:

make: This is the command used to execute make, a build automation tool commonly used for compiling and building projects.
--always-make: This option ensures that the specified target is always built, regardless of whether it is considered up to date or not. It forces a rebuild of the specified target.
${target}: This is a placeholder for the actual target you want to build. You need to replace ${target} with the specific target name you want to build.

So, when you execute this command, it will invoke make and instruct it to rebuild the specified target, regardless of its current state.
