OK, I've worked out the basic idea of what I want my makefile to look
like. A few further optimizations are in order.
What I'd like to do is put resulting objects in a different directory
from where the source file resides, it keeps things nice and tidy. The
trouble that I'm having is figuring out how to do this in a nice simple
way.
If written statically, the rule to do this might be :
objectdir/foo.o: foo/src/foo.c
or using variables :
$(OBJDIR)/%.o: $(FOO_SRCS)/%.c
but this obviously breaks down as I would need a rule for each source
directory I have. Is there a generic way I can do this for all .o and .c
files ?
ie something like :
$(OBJDIR)/%.o : %.c
except with something added so that Make knows how to find the *.c file ?
I'm guessing this might be a job for VPATH.
