Makefile commands

make source

This target finds all Java source files in the $(SRC) directory and saves their paths to a file named sources.txt.

make compile

This target compiles the Java source files using $(JC) (the Java compiler) and saves the compiled class files to the $(DIST) directory. It also includes the classpath of the $(DIST) directory and all JAR files in the $(LIB) directory.

make run

This target runs the main class of the project using $(JAVA) (the Java runtime) and the classpath of the $(DIST) directory and all JAR files in the $(LIB) directory.

make build

This target creates a JAR file named App.jar containing the compiled class files and all files in the $(LIB) directory, using $(JAR) (the Java archiver).

make exec

This target runs the main class of the project using the JAR file created by the build target, as well as the classpath of the$(DIST) directory and all JAR files in the $(LIB) directory.
