This was extremely helpful in understanding the make topic we are going over in class. Thanks for making this.

I had no idea how to do any of this... until now. Thanks.

Brillient tutorial, but can you do one on how to link other libaries eg pistache to the makefile. I know how to do this in codeblocks, but not in a makefile

Hi ROb.. Thanks for that. It was really useful.. Possible, make a video that reveals & explain the strange symbols that are in Use in Makefiles like $@, $^,$> and other key words that are often used.

I copied this exactly and get this error message: makefile:6: *** missing separator. Stop. Stackoverflow did not help me. Anyone else have this issue and found a way to resolve it?

I found the answer here: warwick.ac.uk/research/rtp/sc/rse/training/introdev/introduction_to_software_development.pdf Summary: Make recipe lines must be indented using a TAB character. Spaces will not do. If you forget a tab OR use an editor which SWAPS THEM TO SPACES, you will see something like in your terminal -> Makefile: 6: *** missing separator. Stop. (Note that the "6" is the line number where the error occurred.)
