Is there a way we can specify the make files that works with most of the development platforms?

Is there a way we can specify the ma开发者_开发问答ke files that works with most of the development platforms? I.e. Linux/Mac/Windows etc

Or something close to that?

GNU build system (automake, autoconf, libtool, ...) are exactly made for that : creating a fully portable build system for your software.

Try CMake (cross platform make). It generates Makefiles on Linux and on Windows it generates files for use with nmake.
