A Makefile is used by "make" to build multi-file programs. It usually contains information about the dependencies in the project and instructions on how to build each portion, and then how to link them all together into the final executable. Make will look at the time stamps on the files and determine which object files are out of date, and only recompile what is necessary. There are additional uses, but that is the main concept behind make. Don
