If you would like it updated/corrected, please let me know. I don't mind doing

 	Two variables are used when defining special rules:
 
     $(src)
-	$(src) is a relative path which points to the directory
-	where the Makefile is located. Always use $(src) when
-	referring to files located in the src tree.

     $(obj)
