Just to be supportive jamil, there is a lot of good advice in s. keeling's
email. Some of it is obvious and some is 'between the lines'.

Most helpful posters like to see what effort you've already put into a
problem before they spend much effort trying to write out what can turn
out to be complicated answers. My guess would be that Dan C, for example,
would like your current question better than the way you previously asked
your questions.

I will mention one of my own tweaks, whenever I see 'help' (especially
capitalised with exclamation points), I think newbie. That often
translates into someone who is very difficult to help and I know some
people ignore those. In the present case, "My First Makefile" as a subject
says it all, you wouldn't be here if you weren't seeking help. But, you've
been getting good help here and have only run into a little impatience.
