hi,
I want to use a single Makefile for three platforms (Linux64, MinGw64,
MinGw32) to generate a simple binary (using SDL2).
The source is a single .c file, so use Automake, Autoconf is too heavy.
Hi Valerio:
I am sure you could get a pure GNU Make approach to work. However
*for those familiar with CMake* the task you describe (build an
executable that links to an external library in a cross-platform way)
is straightforward and could be implemented in just a few lines of
CMake code with your choice of CMake back-ends (including GNU Make).
I assume you are not familiar with CMake because you haven't mentioned
it as a possibility. So because of that unfamiliarity doing this task
with CMake would likely cost you just as much time as a pure GNU make
approach. But you would learn a lot that I guarantee would be helpful
to you in other projects (at least that is my experience with CMake
over the last decade) so it would be time well spent.
