Make will automatically do all the steps, and stop if any one fails. Of course you van do manually, but is much more work.

The irony is that the same argument would work against Make in the description further up vs other build systems like CMake etc.

Not to take away from your correct answer of course

That’s because CMake calls make or an equivalent (ninja, xcodebuild…) that actually does all the dependency checking!
