A makefile to be used as template. It automatically creates header dependencies using the -MMD flag of gcc so the user only needs to specify the source files. Libraries and compiler flags are generated using pkg-config.
CXXFLAGS = -g -I/usr/include/blah $(shell pkg-config --cflags thelib)
LIBS = $(shell pkg-config --libs thelib) -lotherlib
CXX = g++
SOURCES = source.cpp
OBJS = $(SOURCES:.cpp=.o)
DEPS = $(SOURCES:.cpp=.d)
TARGET = a.out
$(TARGET): $(OBJS)
$(CXX) -o $(TARGET) $(OBJS) $(LIBS)
all: $(TARGET)
%.o: %.cpp
$(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -MMD -MP -c $< -o $@
clean:
rm -f $(OBJS) $(TARGET) $(DEPS)
-include $(DEPS)
