How do I set up a Makefile for my project?

To set up a Makefile, start by creating a file named 'Makefile' in your project directory. What programming language are you using?

I'm using C for my project.

Great! A simple Makefile for a C project might look like this:

CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-I.

all: myprogram

myprogram: main.o utils.o
	$(CC) -o myprogram main.o utils.o

main.o: main.c
	$(CC) -c main.c $(CFLAGS)

utils.o: utils.c
	$(CC) -c utils.c $(CFLAGS)

Would you like to know how to run the Makefile?

Yes, how do I run it?

You can run the Makefile by opening your terminal, navigating to your project directory, and typing make. This will compile your program based on the rules defined in the Makefile.
