how to debug make

If make fails with: "bmake: don't know how to make blah", what/where is the best place to start looking for problems? why did it fail? What does it mean by "don't know"?

the Makefile should include all your source file like .c and .o (and .h if necessary)

and the point is that the compiling step should follow like this :

FileName ---> FileName.o ---> FileName.c

hope it does help you.

0r try search keyword "makefile" on google

it's not difficult to read it.

It means the Makefile doesn't have that target. It doesn't know what you're talking about.
