CC = gcc
PROG = a01
SRCS = a01.c

## This incantation says that the object files
## have the same name as the .c files, but with .o
OBJS = $(SRCS:.c=.o)

## This is the first rule (the default)
## Build the program from the .o's
$(PROG) : $(OBJS)
$(CC) $(OBJS) -o $(PROG)

## Remove all the compilation and debugging files
clean :
rm -f $(OBJS)

Your question is about the "make" tool, not about the C language.

Try comp.unix.programmer.

(BTW, it worked for me, at least once I made sure to use tabs
rather than spaces in the makefile.)
