Re: [Dev-C++] Makefile whats it?

[jansb000 <jan...@wx...>]

A makefile is a kind of script where you can specify how and in what =
order to execute programs. This is most commonly used for compilers and =
it works as follows:

my_prog.exe: my_prog.c my_prog.h
    cc my_prog.c -omy_prog.exe

This means that the executable "my_prog" depends on the "c" and "h" =
file. Whenever you run make it will check the date/time stamps of your =
executable with those of the sourcefiles. If the sourcefiles are newer =
then the compiler will be invoked to generate an updated executable.

Hence: make always checks versions and re-creates programs whenever =
needed.
