I'm trying to figure out how to use a makefile to create executables
from both C and C++ sources.  My problem is that the default rule for
the linker assumes that the file is just a C file and doesn't link in
the C++ libraries.

makefile
--------
# executables 
ccprog: ccprog.o common.o
justc:  justc.o common.o

# object files
ccprog.o: ccprog.cc ccprog.h common.h
justc.o:  justc.c justc.h common.h
common.o: common.c common.h

# end of makefile

How do I make the linker link in -lgpp -lstdxxx etc. just for the ccprog
and not for justc?

I think it works ok if I use something like
	ccprog: ccprog.cc ccprog.h common.c common.h
but that seems to me to be rather bad style and loses the advantage of
conditional recompilation.


I hope this is clear.  Thanks for the help.
	Rik.
