Makefile to compile multiple C programs?

Question

This is an incredibly simple question, but I\'m new to makefiles. I am trying to make a makefile that will compile two independent programs:

program1:
    gc         


        

Answer 1

Pattern rules let you compile multiple c files which require the same compilation commands using make as follows:

objects = program1 program2
all: $(objects)

$(objects): %: %.c
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $<
