pgm: a.o b.o cc -Aa a.o b.o -o pgm a.o: incl.h a.c cc -Aa -c a.c b.o: incl.h b.c cc -Aa -c b.cLines with a `:' are of the form
target : dependenciesmake updates a target only if it's older than a file it depends on. The way that the target should be updated is described on the line following the dependency line (Note: this line needs to begin with a TAB character).
Here's a more complex example of a makefile for a program called dtree. First some variables are created and assigned. In this case typing `make' will attempt to recompile the dtree program (because the default target is the first target mentioned). If any of the object files it depends on are older than their corresponding source file, then these object files are recreated.
The targets needn't be programs. In this example, typing `make clean' will remove any files created during the compilation process.
