I am currently struggling with make, any tip or tutorial is very much appreciated. My project folder structure looks like this:
/project
bar.hpp
/folder1
main.cpp // #include "foo.hpp" #include "bar.hpp"
foo.cpp // #include "foo.hpp" #include "bar.hpp"
foo.hpp // #include "bar.hpp"
Makefile
This compiles when called from folder1.
g++-10 -std=c++2a -O3 -fno-pic -no-pie -Wall -I../ main.cpp foo.cpp
I have written the following Makefile but It doesn't work as I expect:
CXX = g++-10
CXXFLAGS = -std=c++2a -O3 -fno-pic -no-pie -Wall
CPPFLAGS = -I../
.PHONY : all clean distclean
EXE = a.out
SRC = main.cpp foo.cpp
OBJ = $(SRC: .cpp=.o)
INC = $(wildcard *.hpp) ../bar.hpp
all : $(EXE)
clean :
$(RM) *.o
distclean : clean
$(RM) $(EXE)
$(EXE) : $(OBJ)
$(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $^ -o $@
$(OBJ) : $(INC) // I hope this means that all object files depend on all header files?
%.o : %.cpp $(INC)
$(CXX) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS) -c $< -o $@
I am calling make all from within folder1, but it does not work.
I tried to look for c++ make tutorials but couldn't find any with implicit and pattern rules in depth.
This is the error I get
g++-10 -std=c++2a -O3 -fno-pic -no-pie -Wall main.cpp foo.cpp -o a.out
main.cpp:1:10: fatal error: bar.hpp: No such file or directory
1 | #include "bar.hpp"
| ^~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
In file included from foo.cpp:1:
foo.hpp:1:10: fatal error: bar.hpp: No such file or directory
1 | #include "bar.hpp"
| ^~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
I tried in folder1 to run these commands, and it compiles properly.
g++-10 -std=c++2a -O3 -fno-pic -no-pie -Wall -c foo.cpp -o foo.o -I../
g++-10 -std=c++2a -O3 -fno-pic -no-pie -Wall -c main.cpp -o main.o -I../
g++-10 -std=c++2a -O3 -fno-pic -no-pie -Wall -o main main.o foo.o
This line is wrong:
OBJ = $(SRC: .cpp=.o)
By adding a space before the .cpp
you're saying that OBJ
should replace all words in the variable SRC
that end in " .cpp
" with an ending of .o
. But there are no words in the variable SRC
that end in " .cpp
", so no changes are made, and the value of OBJ
is the same as the value of SRC
.
So, your rule is:
a.out : main.cpp foo.cpp
so no .o
files are built because your target doesn't depend on them.
Remove the space:
OBJ = $(SRC:.cpp=.o)
