There are several variants of the 'make' command, and you should use the 'man make' or 'info make' command to see what your platform is using. In general, the make command requires a makefile, sometimes a target, and can use optional variable parameters, such as:

make -f myMake.mk

which is the simple version of calling 'make'. The targets and dependencies of the myMake.mk are in that file.

The complexities of using the 'make' command with targets, etc., is too complex to answer here.
