Compilation of a C-program using a Makefile
Introduction The compilation of programs in programming language C is a fundamental process in software development. It allows the source code written by the programmers to be translated into computer-friendly instructions. One of the challenges associated with the compilation is the efficient management of the project files and units, which becomes even more crucial when working on large and complex projects.
This work aims to explore one of the most used mechanisms to compile projects in C: the use of a Makefile file. A Makefile is a configuration file that describes how to compile the source files of a project and how to manage the units between them. In addition, it allows to automate the compilation process and facilitates the task of maintaining and updating the code.
