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

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

At the bloodshed site is a link to mingw. It is an url which contains =
"xraylith" owned by "mr Muhmit Khan". I do not remember the exact url =
but with this info you should be able to find it. On his site you can =
also find a link to "make" or "binutils".
Note: that you need a special version ported for mingw. In the past I =
tried to use the make utility from DJGPP. That really kept me busy for a =
while until I discovered that these versions are not compatible.=20

    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,
