[FEATURE] Support Makefiles OOTB

[michealroberts]

Description

I think it would be really nice if we could rip out gcc and make from our dependency chain, keep the Makefile as is in situ which say a command “test” and just run:

task test

I feel that would be interesting way to encourage adoption.

@michealroberts your idea is not without merit. I use both systems and my observation would be slightly different: I think it would be really nice if Task could be as reliable as, and an effective equivalent to, Make, so that I could consider it as a replacement. But Make is so good and so easy to use, that even then ... its not going to be enough (for me).

Otherwise, you can ask ChatGPT to convert your Makefiles to Taskfile.yml, or ask ChatGPT to write a script to convert a Makefile to Taskfile.yml. Both work, however I find the original Makefile to be more concise and easier to read; less lines, less indentation, less schema-key-words and less "funny" templating syntax; however a Task user might not notice those particular differences.

Its a perfect ChatGPT task, would be my suggestion.

Hello
We won't support Makefile out of the box.
As @trulede said, you can ask some IA to convert it or you can develop a converter.
