all. Let\'s say I have a program that contains a long list of C source files, A.c, B.c, ...., Z.c, now I want to compile A.c, B.c with certain CFLAGS, and compile the rest p
Try using target-specific variables. A target-specific variable is declared like this:
TARGET: VAR := foo # Any valid form of assignment may be used ( =, :=, +=, ?=)
Now when the target named TARGET is being made, the variable named VAR will have the value "foo".
Using target-specific variables, you could do this, for example:
OBJ=[all other .o files here, e.g. D.o, D.o, E.o .... Z.o]
SPECIAL_OBJS=A.o B.o
all: $(OBJ) $(SPECIAL_OBJS)
$(SPECIAL_OBJS): EXTRA_FLAGS := -std=c99 # Whatever extra flags you need
%.o: %.c
@echo [Compiling]: $<
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(EXTRA_FLAGS) -o $@ -c $<
