Nobody ever writes a Makefile. They take an existing Makefile and modify it.
Just be thankful you don’t have to deal with IMakefile. (For those of you who were lucky enough to never deal with this, or who have managed to forget, IMakefile was a file that was sort of a meta-Makefile for X Window System based projects which would be used to generate a Makefile that knew where you’d installed all your X Windows libraries and binaries. Needless to say, it sucked.)
