0 Success All requested targets were built successfully. Every recipe in the dependency graph completed with exit code 0.
1 Build Error One or more recipes (shell commands in a rule) exited with a non-zero status. Make stops at the first failure unless the `-k` / `--keep-going` flag is used, in which case it continues other independent targets and exits with 1 when all work is done.
2 Make Internal Error Make itself encountered a fatal error: an unrecognised command-line option, a syntax error in the Makefile, or another internal problem that prevented the build from starting. This exit code is distinct from a recipe failure (exit code 1).
