Hello all, I'm trying to clean up the source tree for some software I'm writing. The program itself is relatively simple, but is very fragmented; i.e. it has a lot of source files. I'd like to write one top-level Makefile that is able to find all of my source files, build the object files, and put them into a separate directory. I'm thinking this can't be that difficult, but I haven't figured it out yet.
I'm trying to use $(addprefix) build lists of source files and object files containing the relative paths for each. The problem is that $(addprefix) never seems to be evaluated. When I run 'make -p', $OBJECT_LIST looks exactly like in does in my Makefile, which is listed below. Fixes or pointers to a somewhat simple example greatly appreciated... Thanks, -Andrew #### Begin Makefile #### ## compiler settings CC = gcc OPTIONS = -Wall -g ## directory layout BASEDIR = ../alice SOURCEDIR = $(BASEDIR)/sources OBJECTDIR = $(BASEDIR)/objects DOCSDIR = $(BASEDIR)/documentation ## sources SOURCES = main.c help.c status.c buffer.c device.c error.c insane.c ## objects OBJECTS = main.o help.o status.o buffer.o device.o error.o insane.o ## lists containing paths SOURCES_LIST = $(addprefix, $(SOURCEDIR), $(SOURCE)) OBJECTS_LIST = $(addprefix, $(OBJECTDIR), $(OBJECTS)) ## targets alice: $(OBJECT_LIST) $(CC) $(OPTIONS) -o $@ $(OBJECT_LIST) $(OBJECTS_LIST): alice.h $(CC) $(OPTIONS) -c $(SOURCES_LIST) clean: rm -f $(OBJECTS_LIST) *.core alice; #### End Makefile #### _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
