A "standard" GNU make makefile would look something like this:

    CXX = g++
    CXXFLAGS = -Wall -W -ansi -pedantic -g
    OBJECTS = my_recipes_database.o read_recipe_file.o
    EXEC = add_recipes
    SRC = src/
    BLD = build/

    all: $(EXEC)

    $(EXEC): $(addprefix $(BLD),$(OBJECTS))
            $(CXX) $^ -o $@

    $(BLD)%.o: $(SRC)%.cpp
            $(COMPILE.cc) -o $@ $<

    clean:
            rm -f $(BLD)*.o $(EXEC) *~


(COMPILE.cc is a builtin variable)
