Programming in the C language - [#3] Makefiles and Compiling

Now we'll be implementing the Makefile and compile our "Hello World" program we made in the previous tutorial in the series with the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).

Really good, only tut thats actually simple, to link files if you have more and they are not linked in a main.c file already add '-lm' to the end of the compiler line(2nd line)
Also use a the keyboards tab button on the second line. Awesome!!!

It is the most simple and perfect video I found in my life

Thank you! This is a very simple way to understand makefile

You're wrong. -o actually specifes the output executable name. if you remove it a default name "a.out" will be assigned to the executable.

Thanks for sharing~
you're so nice...

Could you please make some videos of makefile programmes with client, header, server and makefile files

How are you getting a <newline> without a \n in your printf argument? Is that an artifact of Windows? When I run your code at the CL in linux, I get "Hello World!" immediately followed on the same line by the next command prompt. Of course, changing the printf("%s", helloWorld) to printf("%s\n", helloWorld) fixes the problem.

Literally just want to use the damn 'Make' command on VS code so I can continue learning from the CS50 lectures. I've spent 6 hours trying to get this to work and still can't get it lol. Why not just add the stupid command to all computers so we don't have to deal with this. And there's literally no tutorial online that shows how to do it. So frustrating.

Shouldn't the array be of size 13 actually (trailing zero)?

Just so you know, cygwin is not pronounced c-y-g-win it's pronounced as one word "sigwin" :)

I almost got through the video. Couldn't handle the constant circling of the cursor.

The content is too little. Typical makefile contains compile, link and clean
