Hi,
I have always been afraid of makefiles and I was given a generic makefile to use and have been using that. Now I dont like it much since it doesnt cover everything I would like it to.
I am trying to make a generic makefile, in an effort to understand the makefile itself.
I have written a makefile to make libraries.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPDIR= ../..
OS=LINUX
TARGET_PLATFORM=i386
CC= gcc
CPP= g++
COMPILE= $(CPP)
MKLIB= ar rvu
RM= rm -rf
INC_CFLAGS= -I/usr/include/mysql++ -I$(TOPDIR)/cncpbaseclass -I/usr/include/mysql -I$(TOPDIR)/oammsg
-I$(TOPDIR)/neoamcomm -I../util_lib -I$(TOPDIR)/util
#-Wno-deprecated
CFLAGS= -w -g -O2 -I. -D$(OS) -D$(TARGET_PLATFORM) -D_REENTRANT -D__LITTLE_ENDIAN__ -D__NOT_USE_AUTH_MOD__
CFLAGS+= $(INC_CFLAGS)
#This is where you put the name of the library you are creating
OUT_LIB= libdbaccess.a
#This is the directory where the library will be put
OUT_LIB_DIR= $(TOPDIR)/LIB-OUT
SRCS= myprog1.cpp myprog2.cpp
INCLUDES= myheader1.h ../include/myheader2.h
#OBJS= $(SRCS:%.cpp=%.o)
all: $(OUT_LIB_DIR)/$(OUT_LIB)
$(OUT_LIB_DIR)/$(OUT_LIB): $(SRCS)
$(COMPILE) $(CFLAGS) -c $?
$(MKLIB) $(OUT_LIB_DIR)/$(OUT_LIB) $(OBJS)
$(RM) $(OBJS)
clean:
$(RM) $(OUT_LIB_DIR)/$(OUT_LIB) *~* *#* *.o
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This seems to work just fine for source file changes. But I cant seem to figure out how to add header file dependencies to it? The reason I didnt put the OBJ file rule in the makefile is because I dont want the .o files, I create an .a file out of all the .o's so I delete the .o's. So I skipped that step, thats y compiling and archiving are in one step.
Now if I add $(INCLUDES) in the OUT_LIB target then if I change the header file, it tries to compile it, and I can see y it does that. I want when the header file is changed it should remake all the $(SRCS) files or a subset of those that depend on it.
How can I achieve this?
Thanks
