About this document

Understanding Makefiles Basics is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses makefiles, which are text files used by the make program to automate compilation and other tasks. It explains that makefiles contain rules specifying targets, dependencies, and commands. The author provides examples of basic makefile syntax and conventions, and how to use make by running it with or without specifying a target. Creating a default "all" target is recommended to control what rules are run when make is called without arguments.
