The meaning of the word “default” is “implicit”, or “that if none is given”. Here in makefiles, it would be if you call <\/p>\n

>make\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
without a goal explicitly stated, then the first target in your makefile (other than ones starting with .<\/code>) is updated.  So it makes sense for the first such target to be called “default”.  Yes you can change it to something else if you want to confuse everybody.  <\/p>\n
However, by convention from the Make manual, the name of the first target is already supposed to be all<\/code>.  So all<\/code> is better than default<\/code> which is better than anything else.   <\/p>\n
Also, “default make target entry” is a poor comment.  The proper terminology is “make goal”, and to comment the target which one has named default<\/code> with “default” is a waste of characters \ud83d\ude42  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
