    make files

    i was gonig through some linux compiling methods..and i came across something called make files..they're supposed to be files that compile the whole package (assuming to have more than one header file and more than one source file)...but what i don't know is how do we make "make files"..i read the manual and its supposed to be make -f makeFileName...but what should the makeFileName file have in it?

    Would this help?: GNU `make'

    To compile a makefile type (as root) ./make . You install with ./make install
