Re: Using make

js wrote: 
I have a source file called test.c. I have then made a
file called Makefile that contains the following:

test:
gcc test.c -o test

I know it is not necessary to use make for only this
single file but I still would like to know what I am
missing.

You are missing that this is not the correct group to ask this question. Please ask on a group dedicated to your implementation where you will get correct advise. I would also recommend reading the manuals for your tool chain, commands like:
info make
man make
*might* provide you with the information you require, or you might have some other form of "help file" on your system.
