<h1>Creating your makefile</h1>

<p>For the purpose of this tutorial, you were instructed to create a Standard 
Make C++ Project which requires you to create a makefile. Managed Make C/C++ projects generate makefiles for you.</p>

<p>To create your makefile:</p>
<ol>
  <li>In the <b>C++ Projects</b> view, right-click the <b>HelloWorld</b> project 
  folder and select <b>New &gt; File</b>.</li>
  <li>In the <b>File name</b> box, type <b>makefile</b>.</li>
  <li>Click <b>Finish</b>.</li>
  <li>Type the gnu make instructions below in the editor. Lines are 
  indented with tab characters, not with spaces.</li>

<blockquote>
  <p>
  <br>
  all: hello.exe<br>
  <br>
  clean:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rm main.o hello.exe<br>
  <br>
  hello.exe: main.o<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; g++ -g -o hello main.o<br>
  <br>
  main.o:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; g++ -c -g main.cpp<br>
&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
  <li>Click <b>File &gt; 
  Save</b>.</li></ol>

<p>Your new makefile, along with your main.cpp file are 
displayed in the C/C++ Projects view and in the Navigator view. Your project now 
contains main.cpp and makefile. You can now build your HelloWorld project.</p>
