how to “execute” make file

You don’t tend to execute the make file itself, rather you execute make, giving it the make file as an argument:

make -f pax.mk

If your make file is actually one of the standard names (like makefile or Makefile), you don’t even need to specify it. It’ll be picked up by default (if you have more than one of these standard names in your build directory, you better look up the make man page to see which takes precedence).
