Hi,
I have a RHIDE project that
I want to convert to one
using makefiles (I donīt want to use RHIDEīs
function to generate one, because itīs not human readable.)
Iīve got all the include files in HOME\INCL and
the project files in HOME\PROJECT_NAME.
Iīd like to do as few as possible work twice
(my projects are really very small, but I think
this approach is better with regard to larger projects)
so Iīd like to generate dependencies automatically.

Does anybody have an example makefile that accomplishes this ?
i.e. an include pair is called vbetwo.h/vbetwo.cpp,
and I want to compile ball.cpp, which uses this file among others.
So my makefile looks something like this:

.PHONY: ball

OBJECTS = vbetwo.o [...]

ball: $(OBJECTS)
	gpp -o ball.exe $(OBJECTS)

vbetwo.o: ???
	gpp -c vbetwo.cpp
 
I do have the GNU make 3.77 manual printed out ready, so you can just
tell me where I can find it there. The problem is just that I need more
practical applications of the bare rules from the manual.

Do you maybe know a practical tutorial for makefiles. I donīt need any technical
information (thatīs what the manual is for), just some examples, and tips etc.

Thanks,
