Build the make environment on windows and Linux

Intro Of Make

Intro: When we write c++ programs,we always need to use commands such as g++ xxx.cpp -g -std=c++17 -Wall -o xxx,then we can compile our program and execute it.
However,it is complicated,maybe waste mass of time.
Then, make appears.

Since then,we can compile our program by execute make in our terminal,and then our program will be compile.

That's so cool! Isn't it?
