Making a Makefile

Question

How I can make a Makefile, because it's the best way when you distribute a program by source code. Remember that this is for a C++ program and I'm starting in the C development world. But is it possible to make a Makefile for my Python programs?

Answer 1

From your question it sounds like a tutorial or an overview of what Makefiles actually do might benefit you.

A good places to start is the GNU Make documentation.

It includes the following overview "The make utility automatically determines which pieces of a large program need to be recompiled, and issues commands to recompile them."

And its first three chapters covers:

1. Overview of make
2. An Introduction to Makefiles
3. Writing Makefiles
