A Makefile with Multiple Executables

Question

I am trying to write a makefile which uses macros to create multiple executables from multiple files at once. I tried searching through previously answered questions but, be

Answer 1

The following answer includes multiple executable such as initiate, process1, process2, ..., process4.

LOCAL_INCLUDE=./

all: clean process_first process_second init

process_first:
    gcc -g -o process1  -I$(LOCAL_INCLUDE) process1.c  -lzmq  -L. -L./.
    gcc -g -o process2  -I$(LOCAL_INCLUDE) process2.c  -lzmq  -L. -L./.

process_second:
    gcc -g -o process3  -I$(LOCAL_INCLUDE) process3.c  -lzmq  -L. -L./.
    gcc -g -o process4  -I$(LOCAL_INCLUDE) process4.c  -lzmq  -L. -L./.

init:
    gcc -g -o initiate -I$(LOCAL_INCLUDE) initiate.c -lzmq -lconfig -lpthread -L. -L./. -ldl -lrt

clean:
    rm -rf init_manager.o init_manager
    rm -rf process1 process2 process3 process4

NOTE: It is a good practice to clean and touch all the executable files before making them again.
