I am reading GNU Make's manual, here is an example from it:

It's interesting that main.o depends on defs.h. I don't think it's necessary to put defs.h for main.o . Because if main.o depends on defs.h, you just need to include <defs.h> in main.c, there is no need to put defs.h as a dependent in a Makefile.Code:objects = main.o kbd.o command.o display.o \ insert.o search.o files.o utils.o edit : $(objects) cc -o edit $(objects) main.o : main.c defs.h cc -c main.c kbd.o : kbd.c defs.h command.h cc -c kbd.c command.o : command.c defs.h command.h cc -c command.c display.o : display.c defs.h buffer.h cc -c display.c insert.o : insert.c defs.h buffer.h cc -c insert.c search.o : search.c defs.h buffer.h cc -c search.c files.o : files.c defs.h buffer.h command.h cc -c files.c utils.o : utils.c defs.h cc -c utils.c clean : rm edit $(objects)
Am I right?
