  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.

    Hello Folks,
        I want to know what are make files and how to work with them =
when using borland command line tools in DEV c++ there is nothing such.

       Any help is appreciated,
