## Build instructions
`make` is the officially maintained build system of this project.
All other build systems are "compatible" and 3rd-party maintained,
they may feature small differences in advanced options.
When your system allows it, prefer using `make` to build `zstd` and `libzstd`.
### Makefile
If your system is compatible with standard `make` (or `gmake`),
invoking `make` in root directory will generate `zstd` cli in root directory.
It will also create `libzstd` into `lib/`.
Other available options include:
- `make install` : create and install zstd cli, library and man pages
- `make check` : create and run `zstd`, tests its behavior on local platform
- `make check` : create and run `zstd`, test its behavior on local platform
The `Makefile` follows the [GNU Standard Makefile conventions](https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Makefile-Conventions.html),
allowing staged install, standard flags, directory variables and command variables.
