Linux Makefile structure and documentation [closed]

Question

I'm having difficulties understanding the structure of a Makefile. Can you point me to a good resource to look at?

Answer 1

The best tutorial that I have found for makefiles so far has been this one. One of your other options is to learn autotools and let them produce your makefiles for you, though a little outdated this is the tutorial that I found best to learn from.

Answer 2

You could also use this tutorial by example. It provides very easy examples that will work for simple projects.
