How Do You Save a Makefile in Windows?

A makefile is a special file that contains shell commands that you created and named makefile. It is used using the UNIX make utility to find out which parts of a program you need to compile or to compile. It is normally a script that directs the make utility to select the correct program files that needs to be compiled.

Also, the make utility monitors when files were last updated so that it will only update the ones that contains changes. Here is a sample makefile.

edit : main.o kbd.o command.o display.o
       insert.o search.o files.o utils.o
        cc -o edit main.o kbd.o command.o display.o
                   insert.o search.o files.o utils.o

main.o : main.c defs.h
        cc -c main.c
kbd.o : kbd.c defs.h command.h
        cc -c kbd.c
command.o : command.c defs.h command.h
        cc -c command.c
display.o : display.c defs.h buffer.h
        cc -c display.c
insert.o : insert.c defs.h buffer.h
        cc -c insert.c
search.o : search.c defs.h buffer.h
        cc -c search.c
files.o : files.c defs.h buffer.h command.h
        cc -c files.c
