a linker receives obj’s and lib’s to create exe’s or other libs. But so does a makefile(but it can start from sources on top of that). what is the difference between the two?

A linker and a makefile have almost nothing in common. A makefile is a set of instructions used by
make. They can be instructions that build a program, install some files, or whatever you wantmaketo do. A linker is a program that takes object files as input and combines them into an output executable (or shared library).
