This is the primary magic of make. If you already *have* file, and it's
newer than all the source files (in this case, just file.c), it won't build
it again. Edit file.c so it has a new date (or just do "touch file.c") and
try again. Or, delete "file".

Try "pinfo make". 

You'll probably want more than the man page and info
