Re: to know the meaning of makefiles!

I tested it Luke, i could not use several files by -f !! make is
executed for only one makefile.
How you do it?
I tested with
make -f Makefile -f Makefile2
make --file=Makefile --file=Makefile2
make --makefile=Makefile --makefile=Makefile2

none of them worked for both!!
