C_SIMPLE
A Simple Makefile Example

C_SIMPLE is a simple example of how a makefile can be used to manage a set of C files.

The underlying task is to approximate the integral of a function F(T) using the midpoint rule. The program to do this is broken up into three C files and a header file:

• c_simple.c contains the main program, which tries the midpoint rule three times, each time using more intervals.
• midpoint.c carries out the midpoint rule to approximate the integral of a function.
• f.c evaluates the function whose approximate integral is desired.
• c_simple.h the header file, which contains the interface to each routine.

• makefile contains the makefile for managing these files.
• c_simple.out contains the output from a run of the compiled program.
