If you're running gcc directly, you may not even _need_ a Makefile.

Given a file prog.c, and no Makefile, 

make prog

will correctly compile prog.  You can set the CC, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc
environment variables to change the default rules.

If you have more than one file creating an executable, you want a
Makefile, but this is great for quick things.
