Commonly used make-options

-n

No execution mode.
Make only prints commands, but does not execute them .

-k

Continue building targets as long as possible.
Normally make stops if one of the executed commands returns a non-zero exit status, usually because of a compile or link error. With the -k option, make continues to update other targets that do not depend on the target that failed.

-s

Silent mode.
Make does not print what it executes.
