NAME
make - GNU make utility to maintain groups of programs
SYNOPSIS
make [ -f makefile ] [ option ] ... target ...
WARNING
This man page is an extract of the documentation of GNU
make . ....
(There's also a 'bsdmake', but it's not fully compatible with most
GNU/Linux software)
As for configure, well, 'configure --help' is good for some things. For
the real documention, look at the autotools book (configure scripts are
automatically generated by running an .m4 script through autoconf)

Apple also has some documentation in
