I am moving a C++ project from Windows to Linux and I now need to create a build/make file. I have never created a build/make file before. I also need to include Boost libra
Using @Job 's idea, I recommend you to leave it for some IDE to do. For example, Build a project in Eclipse CDT and use it's auto-generated make file. Then, you can kearn it and by the time change it to fit exactly your needs.
