# Writing Makefiles

The information that tells `make` how to recompile a system comes from reading a data base called the makefile.

- Makefile Contents: What makefiles contain.
- Makefile Names: How to name your makefile.
- Include: How one makefile can use another makefile.
- MAKEFILES Variable: The environment can specify extra makefiles.
- Remaking Makefiles: How makefiles get remade.
- Overriding Makefiles: How to override part of one makefile with another makefile.
