Creating Makefile in Windows

Question

I have a folder named 'X'. In X I have two subfolders named 'src' and 'include'.

The 'src' folder contains a C file 'main.c', and the 'include' folder contains a file 'main.h'.

I want to write a makefile to build these files(from folder X) in windows command prompt. I have tried a lot but with no effect. First of all I need the make file format in Linux for this, and once i have that i will do that in Windows.

Can anybody help me in doing this?

Answer 2

Once you've made your Makefile, you can use MinGW's mingw32-make - A Windows native build of GNU make.
