The '''&&''' conditional will run the subsequent command only if the previous command returns a true (0) exit status, for example: '''./configure && make'''. The '''||''' conditional will run the subsequent command only if the previous command returns a false (non-zero) exit status, for example: '''./configure || echo "Houston, we have a problem"'''. These conditional can be combined, for example: '''./configure && make || echo "Houston, we have a problem"'''}} |} <ol><li>Check to see if there is a file named <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">Makefile</span></code></b> or <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">makefile</span></code></b>.
