Your task:

We would recommend working with a partner, but it is also fine if you do this alone.

1. Download make-lab.tar (you can do this using the link on this page, or from a command line via wget https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~cr4bd/3130/S2023/files/make-lab.tar)

2. Expand it using tar xvf make-lab.tar

3. Read enough of the files to get an idea what they do. Then build them with clang *.c and run ./a.out to verify your understanding. Ask a TA for help if you are not sure you fully understand.

4. Add a Makefile in the resulting make-lab directory, which

   • has targets for the following
     • build each .c file into a .o file
     • combine cheer.o and grunt.o into a library (either libsay.a or libsay.so)
     • combine the library and guesser.o into program guesser
   • has CC, CFLAGS, and LDFLAGS we can edit
   • make all creates guesser and its dependencies
   • make clean deletes all files that make can recreate
   • editing say.h causes all files to be rebuilt
   • editing any .c file causes its .o file to be rebuilt, along with the library and/or program if they depend on the .c file
     • Note: if you chose library format libsay.a, then guesser should be rebuilt if libsay.a changes; but if you chose library format libsay.so, then guesser should not be rebuilt if libsay.so changes, only if say.h or guesser.c change.

5. Either:

   • Place a comment (line starting with #) at the top of your Makefile indicating who you worked with and submit your Makefile to the submission site. (If working with a partner, both must submit.) and/or
   • Show a TA your Makefile. They may ask you to show it working, or to look at its contents, or both.
