Actually, make, like any other program that uses getopt(), recognizes non-optional arguments without the space (it's just that POSIX says that portable applications should use the space): $ echo 'all: echo hi ' > baz $ make -fbaz echo hi hi $ In other words, these four spellings are synonyms, although a script that is portable to POSIX rules would only use the second: make -ffoo make -f foo make --file foo make --file=foo - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
