> But how can the linking rule match multiple object files Usually you list all your object files in your makefile. For example hello.tsk: hello.o main.o; $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $^ %.o: %.c; $(CC) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ -c $< here we build hello.tsk from hello.o and main.o. The pattern rule relieves us from writing an individual rule for compilation of each object file. There is one rule for hello.tsk regardless of the number of object files. All the object files listed are prerequisites of our target in this rule. regards, Dmitry
