C/C++ - run Makefile programmably

I have made a Makefile. To use it, I open my Terminal, go to the containing folder and run it with:

make flash

My question is, how can I do this in C/C++? That is, how can I invoke make inside my program (programmably)?

You can use the system function, like this:

#include <stdlib.h>

system("make flash");

The system function is your friend:

system("make -C /Users/MyNAME/Desktop/Folder flash");
