- You do not need makefiles to build toolkit programs because source files explicitly include all required components using <span class="command"><strong>include</strong></span> statement blocks like that shown below. You will see similar blocks near the top of most programs.

- #ifndef MAKEFILE
- #include "../tools/getoptv.c"

- This mechanism has several advantages. First, the preprocessor <strong class="userinput"><code>include</code></strong> statements form a complete inventory of required files. Secondly, the relative pathnames help developers locate needed source files. Third, the complete program can be compiled with one <span class="command"><strong>gcc</strong></span> command, like the one shown below. This allows program compilation in environments where the <span class="application">GNU make</span> program or the Atheros <code class="filename">Makefiles</code> are not available.

- </b></p><div class="example-contents"><pre class="screen">
- # gcc -o program program.c
- </pre></div></div><br class="example-break"><p>
- Most toolkit makefiles define the preprocessor constant <code class="constant">MAKEFILE</code> as a compiler option using <strong class="userinput"><code>CFLAGS= ... -DMAKEFILE ...</code></strong>. When this constant is defined, the compiler will not include components inside an include block like that shown above and so the <code class="filename">Makefile</code> is responsible for compiling and linking all components. If the constant is not defined, because no <code class="filename">Makefile</code> was used, the compiler will merely include everything needed.
