Maybe the make authors could compile a list of options somewhere and ship it with their program, so users could read them? Something like a text file or using some typesetting language. This would make that knowledge much more accessible.



That's really not necessary. Everyone here knows where to find the manual, and we all also know it has a considerable volume of information.


Not sure if you're being snarky, but the manual has a list of all options accepted by make: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Options-S...

(`make --help` will only print the most common options)


make --help

Will give you the command line options. And GNU make has decent documentation online for everything else:
