Sample Makefile for C, C++

File Usage:


1. to build the code executable copy the make file to your source code location ((.cpp, .h)) and directly hit the "make" command 
2. if you are trying to build the static library (.a) then make sure the the file having the "main" function should be removed first. then hit "make static"
3. if you are trying to build the shared library (.so) then make sure the the file having the "main" function should be removed first. then hit "make shared"
