Writing Makefiles

The information that tells make how to recompile a system comes from reading a data base called the makefile.

• Makefile Contents: What makefiles contain.
• Makefile Names: How to name your makefile.
• Include: How one makefile can use another makefile.
• MAKEFILES Variable: The environment can specify extra makefiles.
• Remaking Makefiles: How makefiles get remade.
• Overriding Makefiles: How to override part of one makefile with another makefile.
