How can i make my own makefile?

Hi there.
How can i make my own makefile? I open it with notepad,but i dont know how what i have to do to make it compatible,for example with the library wiilight.

The one what i open is devkitpro\examples\wii\makefile.

How can i make my own?

Thanks.

Of course you can make your own makefile!

(However, its easiest just to edit the one devkitPRO provides you)

Or look at any of the others from other projects out there.

SUBDIRS:= `ls | egrep -v '^(CVS)$$'`

DATESTRING	:=	$(shell date +%Y)$(shell date +%m)$(shell date +%d)

all:
	@for i in $(SUBDIRS); do if test -e $$i/Makefile ; then $(MAKE) -C $$i || { exit 1;} fi; done;

clean:
	@rm -f *.bz2
	@for i in $(SUBDIRS); do if test -e $$i/Makefile ; then $(MAKE) -C $$i clean || { exit 1;} fi; done;

dist: clean
	@tar --exclude=*CVS* -cvjf wii-examples-$(DATESTRING).tar.bz2 *

That's the wii/example.
What can i modify?

Heh. No, don't use THAT makefile. Open up the folder labelled "template" inside. That is a sample project, with a sample Makefile.

ah ok,thank all you.

one other question:

In "LIBDIRS" can be like this: LIBDIRS C:\devkitPro\libogc\include C:\devkitPro\libogc\lib\wii

How about reading the info pages for make? They explain all about the syntax and the super fun tricks you can pull off. In addition, reading the manual for the compiler will provide you with tons of completely useless information and maybe, just enough information to make it do something fun too.

Where can i found thet pages?
I wanna know if "LIBDIRS" can be like this: LIBDIRS C:\devkitPro\libogc\include C:\devkitPro\libogc\lib\wii no "super fun tricks"... ;-)

http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/

At a shell prompt (at least on Linux):
info make
man make

If you use the Emacs editor, you can get the info and man pages while you edit with:
C-h i (then select the make entry ), M-x man (then type make)
