Vijay, instead of vague questions that can have many answers, why
don't you put together a very small set of example (simple as in
"Hello, World") source files (like one of each type) in a directory
structure that matches your situation so we can see exactly your
concerns.

Then you try to write a Makefile that solves your build problem.

Present the whole thing here as a tarball, and then we can look at a
real Makefile that we can critique.

I have to say that my Makefiles grow and improve from observing
results and learning new aspects of make.  Sometimes you just have to
jump in the pool without knowing the temperature--just start!
