#  Windows did not have basename, so i took my extension grabber program from edabit and modified it
#  to get the basename of a file without an extension. Basename is now installed in the windows
#  System32 folder to be used ANYWHERE on the computer. 
#
#  make has a default recipe that uses the target & prequisite to build files
#  % is used as a substitution for any variable. $< is used to substitute the prerequisite
#  %.exe matches the default target rule which is what make is being asked to build.
#  the variable can be accessed using $@
#  : seperates the target from target prerequisite(s) %.cpp represents what is needed to build the exe
#  "g++ $< -o $(basename $@)/$@" is the recipe used by Make to compile the exe
#  the default build rule %.exe will follow this example: make lame.exe will generate the recipe
#  g++ lame.exe -o lame/lame.exe
