The make utility automatically determines which pieces of a large program need to be recompiled, and issues commands to recompile them. For Windows, the cp_install.sh: Install Packs installs GNU Make version 4.2 compiled for Win32. For full documentation, visit: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Options-Summary.
