Well, I don't have MAKE, but you can easily run GCC to compile your source with:

GCC source.c -o object.o

The -o swith makes gcc put the output into this file, it'll see the .o and know 
it should be an object file.

When you want to link the files just use:

GCC object1.o object2.o object3.o -o program.exe

Or simply

GCC *.o -o program.exe

Now the -o switch indicates an executable.
When I called the linker manually I always ended up in a fight with the linker, 
because I thought the library existed, and the linker thought it didn't.
The GCC automatically links all library's you'll need.

I personally use Borland's old MAKE utility with the GCC compiler. Works 
perfectly...
