I have two further questions,
1. when you say "a pattern rule" or "static pattern
rule", do you mean the built-in implicit rules of GNU
Make?
Nope. The terms "pattern rule" and "static pattern rule" are
described in the GNU make info pages. Please check there for the full
explanations.
2. This line you suggested,
> $(OBJ_DIR): debug/%.o: src/%.c
I am confused about it. Since there are two : sign,
means two dependencies? In one line?
Nope. The presence of two colons is part of what makes this a static
pattern rule. That line specifies that for each file in the
$(OBJ_DIR) variable, make should try to match the pattern "debug/%.o"
against it. If that succeeds, then make should act like there's a
rule building that file with a dependency on the matching file
"src/%.c"
