C Programming: Makefiles

Learn to construct a basic Makefile to automate building C programs.

Absolutely the best video on Makefiles. Barry illustrates the dependency tree, and ties it to the Makefile. Additionally, he covers the pre-processor, compiler, and assembler and ties it to the Makefile build process. Well done Sir! 5 stars.

This is by far the best makefile tutorial on YouTube. Only thing missing are the dependencie files (*.d) and why there are needed but explained everything about *.o files

These videos are the best one can get. I've watched many tutorials, nothing beats this

I watch a lot of videos for programming and this has by far been the most educational and biggest time saver for a complex process rather than asking my professor and waiting on him to email me back. your video layout is really helpful as well. Thank You!!!

I am starting my career as Embedded Software Engineer and I can tell you that this is the best explanation so far!! Thank you a lot for this, it is very clear.

[MishaAisyah]

ive been looking for videos and websites for days to understand how makefiles work. this is definitely the best explanation so far despite it being a 5 year old video. thank you so much Barry for making it simpler!!!

For me this is really the best video for learning Makefiles on YouTube. You were really able to make a balance between diving deep into the topic and not overwhelming us with anything which is extra and could be described in a future video. Thank you!

One of the clearest tutorial videos that I have ever found in my life about C programming and Makefile. I gonna check out the rest of your videos from this playlist. Congrats!

[rubempacelli]

That is the proof of your video's quality: I came back to this video after watching it for the first time two year ago. Again, congratulation for this wonderful video!

[atjhamit]

Impressed by the simplicity and yet the profound impact of this video. Loved it.
Thanks Barry.

Just Amazing, I would advise going straight to this video and leave the rest Makefiles introductory videos you find in YouTube search results. You might also want to consider reading the Wikipedia page, and afterwards some advanced documentations that may include functionalities that are required for your own purposes of using makefiles.

Straight to the point, detailed just enough, and very very clear. Much appreciated Barry Brown <3

Even after 7 years this is the best video that perfectly explains makefile!

[CProgrammer]

[Geochro]

I am in first year university and in intermediate programming.
Intro to programming was fine, started intermediate... I couldn't even follow along in lectures.
I just want to say, thank you for this. This video has helped me more that you may ever know.
Need to secure a tutor now to keep on top of new content in my course!

[MccZerk]

Very rarely do I watch a 45 minutes video and have interest throughout the entire video, thank you, best makefile video!

[deryckschnee]

Most useful 45 minutes I've spent in a long while. Thanks!

[CaffeineForCode]

Great explanation! It's nice to see someone use a compiler via the command line to show how it all works rather than relying on an IDE to do all of the work for you! Really appreciated.

wonderful explanation, 44 minutes passed like 10
