RES: Headers in application makefiles

[Fabrício de Novaes Kucinskis]

Andreas,


Thank you for the help. When trying to use .d files, I realized that I was
probably making a simple mistake when informing the dependencies. Looking
carefully, I noticed that the only change needed in the makefile is to
insert the dependency "$(OBJS): myheader.h" just before "$(PGM): $(OBJ)".
And now everything works!

Using a Standard (not Managed) C/C++ project, Eclipse doesn't make
assumptions about your makefile, so you can change anything you want.

Thanks again and best regards,

Hallo,

the make info documentation provides a possibility to do automatic
dependency checking on files, using *.d files for the dependency
information and some extra rules to create these *.d files.

Putting this into your Makefile should lead to the correct dependency of
your source files on also the header files.
Note that, however, make -B will no longer work, as it ends up in an
endless loop constantly recreating the .d files.

Take a look, e.g. using "info make"
and then the node is Rules->Automatic Prerequesites

However, I don't really know, how much of manually edited and created
Makefiles Eclipse supports.

Hope, that helps,
Andreas
