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

#  The purpose of this makefile is to compile to executable all C source
#  files in CWD, where each .c file has a main() function, and each object
#  links with a common LDFLAG.
#
#  This makefile should suffice for simple projects that require building
#  similar executable targets.  For example, if your CWD build requires
#  exclusively this pattern:
#
#  cc -c $(CFLAGS) main_01.c
#  cc main_01.o $(LDFLAGS) -o main_01
#
#  cc -c $(CFLAGS) main_2..c
#  cc main_02.o $(LDFLAGS) -o main_02
#
#  etc, ... a common case when compiling the programs of some chapter,
#  then you may be interested in using this makefile.
#
#  What YOU do:
#
#  Set PRG_SUFFIX_FLAG below to either 0 or 1 to enable or disable
#  the generation of a .exe suffix on executables
#
#  Set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS according to your needs.
#
#  What this makefile does automagically:
#
#  Sets SRC to a list of *.c files in PWD using wildcard.
#  Sets PRGS BINS and OBJS using pattern substitution.
#  Compiles each individual .c to .o object file.
#  Links each individual .o to its corresponding executable.
#

        BIN = $(patsubst %$(PRG_SUFFIX),%,$@)
else
        BIN = $@
endif
## Compile the executables
%$(PRG_SUFFIX) : $(OBJS)
    $(CC) $(OBJ)  $(LDFLAGS) -o $(BIN)
##
## $(OBJS) should be automagically removed right after linking.

veryclean:
