PS: This extension is NOT a re-implementation of make, so you need to have make executables available on your system.

If make is not on your PATH, you can customize the executable path individually based on your operating system:

OS Settings Example
Windows make-task-provider.windows.makeExecutable "C:\Program Files\make\bin\make.exe"
Linux make-task-provider.unix.makeExecutable "/usr/bin/make"
Mac OS make-task-provider.osx.makeExecutable "/usr/bin/make"
