    Many projects describe how source files have to be compiled (and which files have to be recompiled once a source or header file changes) using Makefiles that are interpreted by the make program (see, for example, GNU make). For simple projects, it is often very easy to set up such a file by hand. Larger projects often integrate their Makefiles with the GNU autotools (autoconf, autoheader, automake). In this section, let us simply assume that you have a Makefile for your project and you want to teach KDevelop how to interact with it.
