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

I would suggest simply spelling out your targets as separate targets in the makefile:

all: target1 target2

OTHER_OBJS = misca.o miscb.o miscc.o

target1: target1.o $(OTHER_OBJS)

target2: target2.o $(OTHER_OBJS)

Then make, make target1, make target2, and so on will all do what you want.

You say your makefile "derives the SRC list from [$(TARGET)]" in some presumably high-tech way, but it might be interesting to try explicitly listing the object files in a low-tech way instead, as above. Using different make targets is arguably Make's general pattern for producing different results.
