## Your list of sources
## *.c - C source code
## *.cpp / *.cxx / *.cc / *.c++ / *.C - C++ source code
SOURCES:=test.c

## The name of the executible
TARGET:=test

## Used to compile your C sources

## Used to compile your C++ sources
CXXFLAGS:= -Wall
## Used to specify C preprocessor flags
# CPPFLAGS:= -DMY_VALUE="defined"

### Some customization flags

## How are capitalized extensions handled?
# Indicates whether the capitalized letter is 'normal' (C++, etc.),
# or the 'same' as the uncapitalized version.

## The default target is what is run when no target is specified.
# Historically 'all' is the default target. In our case, 'all' is

# 'help' or 'build'.

Both Emacs and Vim have good syntax highlighting and overall development
support. Most people will be aware of the Emacs support, though the VIM
support is probably a little less well known. (Vim has a :make command,
which will work nicely if you have a Makefile.)

Speaking of Makefiles, they can be a bit intimidating. For starters, you
can use the attached simple makefile. You should check out the GNU Make
info documents for details.
