How to build multiple targets from one makefile

Question

I\'m trying to parameterize my makefile targets. Currently, it has a

TARGET = main

declaration near the top. It derives the SRC

Answer 1

Parameterized variable names and target-specific variables may do what you want, as the value of a target-specific variable is normally "inherited" by the prereqs of that target (assuming you are using GNU make):

target1_SRC=123 456
target2_SRC=abc def

target1: TARGET=target1
target2: TARGET=target2

target1: all
target2: all

all: ; @echo $($(TARGET)_SRC)

Then you can run make target1 or make target2, for example:

$ make target1
123 456
$ make target2
abc def
