hi

there is also another tool called "tmake" from trolltech. it is for various platforms and free.
http://www.trolltech.com/products/download/freebies/tmake.html

you can build up your own projects - which compiling and linking options, and so on - and extend them as you wish. i just started to use it and i can't give you much details about it, but i think there is many more to it then i know right now.

This is what I use. For example, if the source code is cube.c, all I type at the promt is make cube. This makes an exe from the source.
Here ya go:

INCLUDE = -I/usr/X11R6/include/
LIBDIR = -L/usr/X11R6/lib

COMPILERFLAGS = -Wall
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = $(COMPILERFLAGS) $(INCLUDE)
LIBRARIES = -lX11 -lXi -lXmu -lglut -lGL -lGLU -lm

.Suffixes: $this
.Suffixes: .c
.c: $(LIB_DEP)
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $(LIBDIR) $< $(LIBRARIES)


Hope this helps someone!
Shalom,

Hi,

I used your makefile to compile, but i get this error:

[wizzard@michiel bounce]$ make bounce
makefile:12: *** missing separator. Stop.

Can you help me??

[wizzard@michiel bounce]$ make bounce
makefile:12: *** missing separator. Stop.


... muffling my guffaws at your choice of user name ...

Line 12 needs to start with a TAB character.


You probably want to read http://www.gnu.org/manual/make/index.html before doing anything else.
