Also, does any one noes how to write a C makefile in Linux?

Ok, lets say i have 1 main make file, and now i want to use the main makefile to call other makefiles to compile all my codes. How do i go about doing it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

does anyone here knows how to write a simple high level make file in C language...i read some documentation but its quite complicating..
i just want a simple one...
The problem is like this: I am using GLADE in Linux to create an interface. I want this interface to be able to connect to a serial connection like minicom. The GLADE generate C codes and makefile, and the minicom also has makefile and C codes..so my ques is: how to write another make file to link and compile the minicom and the GLADE C codes???????

any help would be appreciated........thanks

If you're new to linux and C, a makefile probably isn't the good place to start anyway.
Look for an online C tutorial (Google helps).Once you've
got a hold of how C works (you don't need to be an expert, just get a hang ofit), go visit the link cram posted to see how you can start building software. You'll learn about makefiles in the process.
Then look for more online docs. And when you have specific questions, go to forums/IRC/whatever.

I won't do your homework for you

Try and explain what you need to do, and where you're stuck at.
You wont learn anything if you don't have to think about it and do some investigation yourself.
