Make utilities and the files they process are not defined by, or part
of, the C language, so the question is off-topic here. Also, there is
not one make utility, but many different ones, and they all have
subtle differences from each other.

Ask in a group that supports your particular tool set.

I am a rookie of C++ and got so confused with the Makefile these days. Could anyone be so kind and give a little sample Makefile for the following particular example?
