    make all rule

    I need to add a "all" rule to my make file, but ive never seen what that is before, and ive done a search but cant find anything. the all rule is meant to make it so that make all produces an executable.

    Can anyone please show me. heres the makefile that i have already made:

    Code:
    CC=gcc
    OBJS=num.o
    EXTRA-FLAGS=
    
    num: $(OBJS)
    	$(CC) $(EXTRA_FLAGS) -c num.c
    clean:
    	rm -f num ${OBJS}
    debug:
    	make EXTRA_FLAGS=-g
    tar:
    	tar cf num.tar makefile num.c

    Something like:

    Code:
    EXEC=myprog.exe
    all: ${EXEC}
    
    ${EXEC}: ${OBJS}
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) ${LARGS} -o $(EXEC) $(OBJS)
    Some additional help
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    Im getting a warning that newline is not the last character in the makefile, but there is a blank line there, so whats the problem.? Does it have to be a \n
    ?

    A blank line isn't necessarily a newline (\n). Make sure the last character is a newline.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.

    You don't put \n in your file, just hit the [enter] button to create an empty last line.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.

    How do i get my program to end when the enter button is hit, with no input on the line?


    Example:

    $12345 (enter)
    $24234 (enter)
    $ (enter)
    (program ends here.)

    ??

    if you're using fgets(), do it like so:

    Code:
    fgets(buf, sizeof buf, stdin);
    if (buf[0] == '\n')
    {
       Terminate
    }
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
