Use the -f option to tell “make” which to use. You can call it anything you want. For example, call it makefile. Or call it makefile.mytotallyawesomemakefiletypeoffile. Usually it doesn’t have an extension at all on a Linux machine. It’s just “makefile” or “Makefile”. If your text editor can’t save a file called Makefile, use a better text editor. For example, emacs, vim, notepad++, or anything that doesn’t suck.
MAKEFILE is a file extension commonly associated with Makefile files. The Developer Files subset comprises 1198 various file formats. MAKEFILE extension may be used by programs distributed for Linux, Mac OS, Windows platform. Files with MAKEFILE extension are categorized as Developer Files files.
A makefile stores instructions for a specific programming project. Use any source code editor to view content of *.makefile. As far as we know, this .makefile file type can’t be converted to any other file format. This is the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software.
You need to update the application you normally use to open .MAKEFILE files. Only the latest version supports the current .MAKEFILE file format. You need to check the .MAKEFILE file for viruses with a popular antivirus.
When you change a file’s extension, you change programs read the file. The problem is, changing the file extension does not change the file type.
