I've been using the following, which works well in GNU make[1]. I'm
using a non-recursive makefile[2], and have a separate directory tree
under $GENDIR for all generated files (.o, .pb.cc, etc). I sort of
use that to good effect in making sure the regular rule for cc files
won't apply accidentally, because the pb.cc files are in a different
location.
==============================
# Make a directory unless it already exists
maybe-mkdir = $(if $(wildcard $1),,mkdir -p $1)
# C++ build rule.
$(GENDIR)/%.o: %.cc
$(call maybe-mkdir, $(dir $@))
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $< -o $@
# Protobuffer code generation rules (note the first rule has multiple targets).
$(GENDIR)/%.pb.h $(GENDIR)/%.pb.cc: %.proto
$(call maybe-mkdir, $(dir $@))
$(PROTOC) -I. --cpp_out=$(GENDIR) $<
$(GENDIR)/%.pb.o: $(GENDIR)/%.pb.cc
$(CC) $(PROTO_CFLAGS) -c $< -o $@
