How to write a makefile to compile C project ?

Hi all !

I'm using Cyclone 1c12 eval, Microtronix uCLinux 1.4, NIOS II IDE 5.0

I have a C project (which will run on uCLinux) as following:

header files:

libA.h

libB.h

.

.

.

c files:

a.c

b.c

c.c

.

.

.

main.c // <-- this file contains function main()

How can I write a makefile ( makefile & rule.mak ) for above project or edit the Microtronix template ?

Thank you

OneNet

    Hi OneNet,

    > How can I write a makefile ( makefile & rule.mak ) for above project

    First read the Linux Reference Guide section, "Creating a Makefile" ... basically, you just need

    to include the Rules.mak and pretty much do what you would always do.

    E.g.:
    TARGET  = foo.exe
CSRC    =  foo.c bar.c
OBJS    = $(CSRC:.c=.o)                  #  All object files
LDFLAGS += 
# #################################################################
.PHONY: default install clean realclean distclean depend
default: deps $(TARGET)
install:
    cp -pf $(TARGET) $(BIN_INSTALL)
clean:
    rm -rf $(OBJS) core
distclean: clean
    rm -f deps
    rm -rf $(TARGET)
depend: deps
sinclude deps
include Rules.mak

    Regards,

    Sorry, I must have fat fingered the following (missing from above): 

    deps: Makefile $(CSRC)
    $(CC) -M $(CFLAGS) $(CSRC) > deps
