    Makefile dependencies

    Hi
    Im a bit confused on makefile dependencies. In the following makefile what are the dependencies?
    Code:
    miles: miles.o conversion.o milesIO.o
             gcc –o miles miles.o conversion.o milesIO.o
    miles.o: miles.c miles.h
             gcc –c miles.c
    milesIO.o: milesIO.c miles.h
             gcc –c milesIO.c
    conversion.o:conversion.c
             gcc –c conversion.c
    clean:
             rm miles miles.o milesIO.o conversion.o
    Is it everything after the colon? EG: miles.c miles.h
