LilyPond Contributor's Guide: 4.5.1 Using make

### 4.5.1 Using `make`

Note: make sure that you are in the ‘`build/`’ subdirectory of your source tree.

LilyPond is compiled with the `make` command. Assuming `make` is configured properly, you can simply run:

>     make

‘`make`’ is short for ‘`make all`’. To view a list of `make` targets, run:

>     make help

TODO: Describe what `make` actually does.
