Running Make

• Write a make file, the default name is ‘‘Makefile`` that describes the relationships among files in the program and provides commands for updating each file.

• Then run from the shell the command:

• make

• make –f Makefile_name

• The `make' program uses the Makefile data base and the last-modification times of the files to decide which of the files need to be updated. For each of those files, it issues the commands recorded in the data base.
