RE: Convert nmake Makefile to GNU Makefile

[Achugatla, Vijay K. (LNG-CON)]

Tom,

 

The info at http://make.paulandlesley.org/autodep.html is really useful.

I am able to build the files by giving the file names in the Makefile

 

SRC_FILES = abc.C xyz.C

OBJ_FILES = $(patsubst %.C, %.o, ${SRC_FILES})

 

But I have a 100s of files in a directory. I can not give the names of all the files inside the Makefile.

Is there any option or directive available in GNU make that searches a directory and gets the names of all the files available in that and then store that in a variable?

Also any idea how to set a destination directory? I mean I want to store all the object files in a directory and the executable in another directory. How to achieve that?

 

Any sample code or pseudo code that handles this would be of great help

 

Thanks,

Vijay

Vijay, I just found this link again.  It points to Paul Smith's

personal home page for make and this link is, I believe, the latest

word on automatic dependency generation:
