makefile

Hello everybody,


Is there a make newsgroup?

MAKE Version 5.2 Copyright (c) 1987, 2000 Borland

Thanks for your attention.

Yes.
This is it.

CC= C:/Borland/BCC55/Bin/bcc32.exe

Forward slash is a flag delimiter.
CC= C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin\bcc32.exe

$(FILE).o

Compiler produces .obj files, not .o files
OFILES= $(FILE).obj

Post by Jean Pierre Daviau
#
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $(FILE) $(OFILES)

Incorrect use of -o

Perhaps better method:
Generic translate .cpp file into .obj file
.cpp.obj:
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $&.cpp

.c.obj:
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $&.c

$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $(FILE).c

So let's put it all together:

CC= C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin\bcc32.exe
LINK= C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin\ilink32.exe
CFLAGS= -WCR
LINKPARAMS= /aa

#translate cpp to obj $& becomes $(FILE)
.cpp.obj:
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $&.cpp

#translate c to obj
.c.obj:
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $&.c

# File.exe depends on File.obj
$(FILE).exe: $(FILE).obj
$(LINK) $(LINKPARAMS) $(FILE),$(FILE),$(FILE),import32+cw32

If your goal is to have object files, and do nothing with them, you can do this instead
This uses the .c.obj rule above.
$(FILE).obj: $(FILE).c

If, for some reason, you really want .o files, you could rename the .obj files, or
.c.o:
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c -o$(FILE).o $(FILE).c
# ren $(FILE).obj $(FILE).o

$(FILE).o: $(FILE).c

You stripped out the leading space (required)
.cpp.obj:
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $&.cpp

Genmake is not meant to be used with Borland. I generates a make file
compatible with the GNU make instead.
For very simple projects involving only a few files, you can try a tool
I wrote some years ago for BCC5.5.1:

This is only a file. I could not find Genmake.
I have cygwin on my machine.
So, if you know where it is, it would be fine to give me a link.

Google is your friend ;-)
