Re: tinkering with the code...

[Ken Cline]

If you simply change the code in one of the existing files
then you should only need to type "make" from the command
line.  The make script will recompile the altered files and
any files that depend on the altered files and create the
"heatbugs" executable.

If you decide to create a new class/file then you'll want to
add the name of that file to the Makefile so that it will be
compiled and linked into the executable.

The kind folks at SFI have made it real easy to add a new
class:

      New class: myObject

      Files: myObject.h, myObject.m

      Changes to the Makefile:

          OBJECTS = \
               ...
             myObject.o
               ...

          main.o: ... myObject.h ...

          ...

          myObject.o: myObject.m myObject.h

          ...


Note: if the main.o doesn't depend on the new class then
      you would have to put "myObject.h" as a dependency
      for the main.o target; however it doesn't hurt to
      do it anyway.
