That is an unusual approach. By default, make looks for a file named makefile or then Makefile in the current directory. The name Makefile is preferred because it appears near the top of an alphabetical listing ls -l and thus clearly shows that the directory is 'controlled' by make. Just name your file Makefile, and make will always find it. Please re-read the project's requirements.
