Makefile

Hi!
So, I was making some code on Visual Studio Code (mac) and encountered a makefile error, and I tried to fix it, but couldn't. So I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. Here is the layout(screenshot):

The compiler said your makefile didn't work, and did not capture the files it was supposed to capture.

Basically $^ is empty.

ah ok, I fixed it by deleting lines 13 and 14, but will take not of that next time I make a makefile, and because you are the only one to respond, you get 5 updoots.

hmm yeah i'll keep looking at the makefile a bit confusing why it shouldn't work. Where did you find it?

also lines 13-14 is supposed to precompile each file so you don't have to compile them again

I was on a youtube tutorial on how compilers work because I was bored, and the guy made a makefile like that, and it didn't work for me. So I made a post. I still don't know why it didn't work. BTW, I was on visual studio code(mac). And I was using the mac terminal to run it. I can show you the source code.
