Creating a makefile

For the purpose of this tutorial, you were instructed to create a project which requires you to create a makefile.

To create a makefile:

1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click the bitreverse project folder and select New > File.
2. In the File name box, type makefile.
3. Click Finish.
4. Type the gnu make instructions below in the editor. Lines are indented with tab characters, not with spaces.

   all: bitreverse
   
   clean:
   	rm bitreverse.o bitreverse
   
   bitreverse: main.o
   	nvcc -o bitreverse $<
   
   main.o: main.cu
   	nvcc --compile -g -G -O0 -o main.o $<

5. Click File > Save.

Your new makefile, along with your main.cu file are displayed in the Project Explorer view. Your project now contains main.cu and makefile. You can now build your bitreverse project.
