Creating a simple Makefile to build a shared library

Question

I am trying to create a very basic hand crafted Makefile to create a shared library to illustrate a point.

This is what I have so far:

SHELL = /bin/sh
CC         


        

Answer 1

Example for C++ files. Also included a clean target

.PHONY : clean

CPPFLAGS= -fPIC -g
LDFLAGS= -shared

SOURCES = $(shell echo *.cpp)
HEADERS = $(shell echo *.h)
OBJECTS=$(SOURCES:.cpp=.o)

FIKSENGINE_LIBDIR=../../../../lib
FIKSENGINE_INCDIR=../../../../include

TARGET=$(FIKSENGINE_LIBDIR)/tinyxml.so

all: $(TARGET)

clean:
    rm -f $(OBJECTS) $(TARGET)

$(TARGET) : $(OBJECTS)
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OBJECTS) -o $@ $(LDFLAGS)
