When you
compile a multiple-file program using the
make utility, the file describing dependencies is called a
makefile.
Over the years, the make utility has come to offer more
and more features, with a corresponding increase in syntactic
complexity. Consequently, expert programmers often write
makefiles that are extremely difficult for beginners to read.
Nevertheless, simple makefiles are easy to write and read, even
for C++ beginners, and you should learn to use them early on.
