Makefile

Below is a simple Makefile that will compile all .java files in the current directory and execute the Main class. Due to its flexibility (no need to define which classes to compile), it is not efficient - it will recompile everything on each run. You can of course optimise the the Makefile to suit your needs.

EDIT (2019-02-12): The Makefile should be indented with TABs not spaces. Do not copy and paste straight from this webpage since it contains spaces. Download the makefile instead

EDIT (2019-02-27): Now compiles and runs in the same rule to avoid Fitchfork errors

run:
    javac *.java
    java Main

clean:
    rm *.class
