means.... that file1.exe depends on the source files: file4.c and file5.c and
file1.exe will be compiled if file4.c or file5.c are newer than file1.exe
file4.c file5.c : file1.h
means file4.c and file5.c are dependent on file1.h -- but there is no action specified.
In this example, I believe that file1.exe will be recompiled if file4.h, file5.h, file1.h, file4.c or file5.c are newer than file1.exe
I would've done this file like so:
would do the same and is more straightforward.
ALSO. In the case where no action is specified, make tries to use default rules.
These rules can be examined by typing:
make -p
