Actually, for really portable makefiles, you need to consider that not
all compilers and linkers use -o.&nbsp; Specifically, MSVC uses /OUT: with
not trailing space.&nbsp; Here's a remedy in pseudo-GNUmake syntax.
<BR>&nbsp;
<PRE>NULLSTRING =</PRE>

<PRE>SPACE = $(NULLSTRING) # DO NOT REMOVE.&nbsp; End of line.</PRE>

<PRE></PRE>

<PRE>if $(MSVC)</PRE>

<PRE>LDOUT = /OUT:</PRE>

<PRE>else</PRE>

<PRE>LDOUT = -o$(SPACE)</PRE>

<PRE>endif</PRE>

<PRE>foo$(EXEEXT): foo$(OBJEXT)</PRE>

<PRE>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $(CC) $(LDOUT)$@ $(LDFLAGS) $?</PRE>
