Have a Makefile to compile your C programs..

[Humble]

I have below makefile in my C programming path and it helps me to easily compile C programs..

[root@node]$ cat Makefile 
program_NAME := myprogram
program_C_SRCS := $(wildcard *.c)
program_OBJS := ${program_C_SRCS:.c=.o}
program_INCLUDE_DIRS :=
program_LIBRARY_DIRS :=
program_LIBRARIES :=
CC := gcc
CFLAGS := -Wall
CPPFLAGS += $(foreach includedir,$(program_INCLUDE_DIRS),-I$(includedir))
LDFLAGS += $(foreach librarydir,$(program_LIBRARY_DIRS),-L$(librarydir))
LDFLAGS += $(foreach library,$(program_LIBRARIES),-l$(library))

.PHONY: all clean distclean

all: $(program_NAME)

$(program_NAME): $(program_OBJS)
	$(CC) $(program_OBJS) $(CFLAGS) -o $(program_NAME)

clean:
	@- $(RM) $(program_NAME)
	@- $(RM) $(program_OBJS)

distclean: clean
[root@node]$


Now to compile I use :

[root@node]$ make compile
gcc -Wall   -c -o compile.o compile.c
gcc    compile.o   -o compile
[hchiramm@humbles-lap C-Pgm]$ ls
compile  compile.c  compile.o  Makefile 
[root@node]$ ./compile 

 I was told to compile!!




Hope it helps.
