Help with a simple make file.

Hello experts. I need to create a simple make file for these files.

main.cpp
BTree.h
BTree.cpp
TreeNode.h
TreeNode.cpp

My instructor gave us this template for the file but I am having trouble understanding it. Could you please help me fill in the gaps? Also are there any lines I need to add to main for the file to work properly?

Thank you Experts,

#compiler command
C++ = g++

# compiler flags
#-g for gdb
#-Wall to check errors and warnings
C++ FLAGS = -c -Wall

#linker command
LINKER = g++

#linker flags
LINKER-FLAGS = -o

# object files and main target

OBJS = <--------- What goes here?
TARGET = <--------- What goes here?

$(TARGET)= $(OBJS)
$(LINKER) $(LINKER-FLAGS) $(TARGET) $(OBJS)

clean:
rm *.o

I have just exactly what you show there but I get this error

Makefile:24: *** commands commence before first target. Stop.

Below is exactly what I have. What does this error mean?

#compiler command
C++ = g++

# compiler flags
# g- for gdb
# -Wall to check errors and warnings
C++ FLAGS = -c -Wall

#linker command
LINKER = g++

#linker flags
LINKER-FLAGS = -o

# object files and main target
OBJS = main.o BTree.o TreeNode.o
TARGET = main

$(TARGET) = $(OBJS)
$(LINKER-FLAGS) $(TARGET) $(OBJS)

clean:
rm *.o
