Writing Minimal Makefiles
=========================
- Ian! D. Allen - www.idallen.com

The "make" program has many default rules built-in.  Don't duplicate
rules that make already knows.  Here is a minimal makefile to buld "foo"
from "foo.c" and "bar" from "bar.C" (C++):

    # minimal Makefile, using default rules
    #
    all: foo bar

    foo: foo.c

    bar: bar.C

Note that no compile or link lines are needed; we use the defaults.

A slightly more indirect example (only works for C, not C++ source):

    # minimal Makefile, using default rules
    #
    all: foo

    foo: foo.o
