Bare-bones makefile (not cmake) to build a playground application?

It took me hours to make the playground code at least compilable. Now I’m getting lost in adding more and more and more and even more -lxyz and in getting more and more and even more error messages. Perhaps somebody is willing to help me? What I’d love to see is a simple, bare-bones Makefile that simply compiles and links, let’s say, the the tutorial01 without the cmake ado.

It’s not that I don’t like cmake, it’s just that I want to keep my stuff simple, and obviously, make is the mother of all *make tools. It took me years to fully unleash the power of make, at least within my brain, so I’d prefer to stick to one tool that I more or less fully understand instead of learning yet another one–over the next couple of years.

Thanks everyone who contribute and share their knowledge!

PPS: Because make is so simple, a single line like
g++ tutorial01.cpp -o tutorial01 ... -L/somewhere -lsomelib ...
would be a perfect answer! Thank you again!

Are you able to use Instructions on building with makefiles and pkg-config on Unix?
