Makefile errors

I'm trying to make a basic GTK program that just makes a button that says "Hello, World!" It compiles when I type "cc -L../lib/ window.o -o test `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`" but when I attempted to make a Makefile, it began to do something funky. I know the makefile works, it's a copy of another working program of mine, just changed the sources.

Code:

SRC = window.c
OBJ = $(SRC:.c=.o)
RM = rm -f
TESTC = $(SRC)
TESTO = $(TESTC:.c=.o)
TESTE = test
LPATH = ../lib/
LIBS = -lmy
GTK = `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`
all: $(TESTO)
	cc -L$(LPATH) $(TESTO) $(LIBS) -o $(TESTE) $(GTK)
clean:
	-$(RM) *.o
	-$(RM) *~
	-$(RM) \#*
	-$(RM) *.core
fclean: clean
	-$(RM) $(NAME)
lol:
	wellwtfaasdasdasd

When I type make, I get

Code:

cc (tab space) -c -o window.o window.c

I know that the "lol" part of the Makefile (make lol) attempts to execute "wellwtfaasdasdasd." I have no idea where the makefile is getting -c or window.c, I never coded that.

Any help is much appreciated.

If that's where you are at, my advice is you stop worrying about makefiles at all for now. They serve absolutely no purpose here except as a pointless complication.

Just use the compiler. If you do not like typing switches out all the time, here's a line from my ~/.bashrc:

Code:

export CGTK=`pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`

Now to compile a gtk app, you just use:

gcc helloworld_gtk.c $CGTK

Presto. No makefile required.

make attempts to compile all .c files to .o files (this is your rule as you put it above). But, I don't get your above statement considering the above code block.
