[PD] newbie learning how to 'make'

[chun lee]

hi there:

i am just learning how to compile pd externals and got a few questions. 

i got the makefile from
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/pure-data/externals/build/linux/makefile?rev=1.19

and a hello_world example from the below line and saved as hello_world.c
http://iem.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/node3.html 

and i put them in the same folder and 'cd' to the folder and typed
make hello_world.c

and i got

ls: ../src: No such file or directory
make: Nothing to be done for `hello_world.c'.

where am i doing wrong? do i need to modify the makefile somewhere?

many thanks

yours
