A simple Makefile

# A simple Makefile! # # The Makefile just compiles all C source and CPP source file # in current directory, but your can modify and extend the it. # Any problem please email me! # # Author: galen # Email: galen.gang.liu@gmail.com # 26-Mar-2010 TARGET := simple # << your executable name >> CC = gcc CXX = g++ CCFLAGS = -g -O2 -Wall -Werror CXXFLAGS = -g -O2 -Wall -Werror LDFLAGS = LIBS = -lcppunit -ldl # <<using library that you need >> # $(wildcard pattern...) # http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Wildcard-Function # We using the wildcard function to get a list of all the # C source and CPP source files in current directory.

Each action must be indented with at least one space (traditional make requires a tab character)
