+====== Make: Automated Builds ======
+The make utility
+If you run
+<code>
+make
+</code>
+this program will look for a file named makefile in your directory, and then execute it.
+If you have several makefiles, then you can execute them with the command:
+<code>
+make -f MyMakefile
+</code>
+There are several other switches to the make utility. For more info, man make.
+===== Build Process =====
+. Compiler takes the source files and outputs object files
+. Linker takes the object files and creates an executable
+==== Compiling by hand ====
+The trivial way to compile the files and obtain an executable, is by running the command:
+<code>
+g++ main.cpp hello.cpp factorial.cpp -o hello
+</code>
+==== The basic Makefile ====
+The basic makefile is composed of:
+<code>
+target: dependencies
+[tab] system command
+</code>
+This syntax applied to our example would look like:
+<code>
+all:
+	g++ main.cpp hello.cpp factorial.cpp -o hello
 </code>
