LPIC-2 Exam 201 (Linux Engineer) — Question 29

Which of the following files will be looked for and used by GNU make, if one of them exists, unless a different file is specified on the command line when trying to compile software from source code? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. configure
• B. config.h.in
• C. makefile
• D. Makefile
• E. Makefile.in

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers are C and D, as GNU make looks for 'makefile' and 'Makefile' by default to determine how to build the software. The other options, while potentially related to the build process, do not serve the same primary function as the specified makefiles.
