====== Simple makefile example using built-in default rules  ======

Sometimes you just want a quick rule set to compile and build a simple project. This article provides the simplest form of makefile that you can use.

===== Simple makefile example =====
The makefile in this example assumes that your sources are in ./src and include files are in ./inc

<code>
CFLAGS=-DFLAG1 -DFLAG2 
CC=gcc
INCLUDES=-I inc/
OBJS= src/file1.o src/file2.o
#r!ls src/*.o | xargs

%.o : %.c
        $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) $< -o $@

binary1: $(OBJS) src/binary1.o
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) src/binary1.o  $(OBJS) -o binary1

binary2: $(OBJS) src/binary2.o
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) src/binary2.o  $(OBJS) -o binary2

clean:
        rm -rf src/*.o binary1 binary2
