in my project there are 2 c programs and 1 shell script.

in the same directory, there are;

Code:

program1.c
program2.c
makefile
shellScript.sh

my makefile is;

Code:

shellScript: program1 program2
	
program1: program1.c 
gcc -o program1 program1.c
program2: program2.c 
gcc -o program2 program2.c

and it's name is makefile. it hasn't got an extension.

could you tell me what is wrong with it ?

Hi.

You need a TAB before each "recipe" line.

See http://www.wlug.org.nz/MakefileHowto , for example ... cheers, makyo

Code:

shellScript: program1 program2

program1: program1.c
        gcc -o program1 program1.c
program2: program2.c
        gcc -o program2 program2.c
