make command

• make is used for building projects with multiple dependecies and man source/target files (mainly c++)
• it creates binaries based on definitions in the Makefile (perhaps in a bin directory)
• sudo make install places the binaries in desired installation dir like /usr/bin /usr/local/bin

• use "a.h" (colons) to add local headerfiles.

Makefiles

    gcc -o myapp main.o dep1.o dep2.o
main.o: main.c 1.h      #dependency
    gcc -c main.c       #rule (must be *tab* indented)
dep1.o: dep1.c 1.h
    gcc -c dep1.c
dep2.o: dep2.c 1.h 2.h
    gcc -c dep2.c
