<h3 class="section">Arguments to Specify the Makefile</h3>

   <p>The way to specify the name of the makefile is with the <code>-f</code> or
<code>--file</code> option (<code>--makefile</code> also works).  For example,
<code>-f altmake</code> says to use the file <code>altmake</code> as the makefile.

   <p>If you use the <code>-f</code> flag several times and follow each <code>-f</code>
with an argument, all the specified files are used jointly as
makefiles.

   <p>If you do not use the <code>-f</code> or <code>--file</code> flag, the default is
to try <code>GNUmakefile</code>, <code>makefile</code>, and <code>Makefile</code>, in
that order, and use the first of these three which exists or can be made
(see <a href="Makefiles.html#Makefiles">Writing Makefiles</a>).
