The typical way is to create a fake target and set all of your
executables a dependency:
all: exe1 exe2 exe3
exe1: obj1.o obj2.o
exe2: obj1.o obj3.o
exe3: obj1.o obj3.o obj4.o
So when you do 'make all' it makes everything.
While make is a very useful tool, it's a bit antiquated. I really
recommend learning SCons -- it's Python-based but easier to use than
make.
