How to properly setup TravisCI For a simple C project

Question

I'm trying to setup TravisCI to do automated build and tests for me on a C project.

For me to learn and understand it I made a sample github repo to make it work before moving it to my final project.

My Project consists of basically 3 files:

.travis.yml:

language: C

makefile:

hellomake: main.c
    gcc -o hellomake main.c -I.

main.c:

#include <stdio.h>

void main() 
{
    printf("Hello World!");
}

As the project is now I get the following error in Travis:

0.00s$ ./configure && make && make test
/home/travis/build.sh: line 41: ./configure: No such file or directory
The command "./configure && make && make test" exited with 127.

What am I missing or doing wrong?

According to The Docs the default script for C projects is ./configure && make && make test. However, as specified just a couple of lines below, "This can be overridden as described in the general build configuration guide."

For example, for your project (which only has a Makefile without a test target) you could use:

script: make

For building it (append to .travis.yml).
