Maybe a short explanation will get you up to speed faster.

The "make" utility is intended for repetitive tasks (like compiling/linking). It works rule-based. In its input file there is a collection of such rules laid out.

Rules consist of target files, source files and actions. When a source file is changed (=has a time stamp younger than the target file) the action is carried out. Usually carrying out the action creates the target file. The big advantage of using a make-file instead of a script with all the compiler/linker commands is that "make" will skip all the files which are already up to date and only execute the rules necessary to update the files which aren't. It will also stop if one of the commands carried out will return a non-zero error level (compilers do that when encountering severe errors).

You should now be able to understand the manual and work out your little makefile.

I hope this helps.
