Agreed on dummy files, that's one of my least favorite things about Make. If you structure everything right though, you can usually figure out how to do it with the actual input and outputs.
GNU Make's documentation is very well written though. Like, shockingly well. Don't be afraid to read through it if you see some weird syntax that you can't figure out.
