Question Question about creating targets in makefile
Hi,

I have a question related to makefile. I'm new to makefile and I'm in the process of writing a makefile for my RBT build. I have multiple source files and when I compile them I will get multiple object files (one object file for each source file). I'm having problem in creating a target for each object file with out hardcoding the object file names. I read the list of source file names from another make file. Assume the variable SRC_NAMES contains list of source file names (say test1.c test2.c test3.c). Now I want to create target for each objects for it (say test1.obj test2.obj test3.obj). Currently I have written some thing like below,

Code:
 
#############################################
OBJS_LIST := $(foreach file,$(SRC_NAMES),$(notdir ${file}))
OBJS_LIST := $(DSP_COMMON_OBJ_LIST:.c=.obj)
 
all: final.exe
 
final.exe: $(OBJS_LIST)
   create exe here
 
$(OBJS_LIST): $(SRC_NAMES)
    compile and generate object file for each source files here.
 
#############################################

This is not working. Since OBJS_LIST contains many object names, compilation action is repeated for many times for the target $(OBJS_LIST). My question is how to split the obj target into multiple targets without hard-coding the target obj names?

Thanks,
Anand

PERLCE(1)						 Perl Programmers Reference Guide						 PERLCE(1)

Name
       Perl for WinCE

Description
       This file gives the instructions for building Perl5.6 and above for WinCE.  Please read and understand the terms under which this software
       is distributed.

Build
       This section describes the steps to be performed to build PerlCE.

       Tools & SDK

       For compiling, you need Microsoft Embedded Visual Tools, my celib-sources, my console-sources and a perl for win32.

       Needed source files can be downloaded via: www.rainer-keuchel.de/wince/dirlist.html

       Some portions of the makefile need a shell for win32, rm, cp, mv, xmkdir (mkdir with a -p option).  It also uses my cecopy program for
       copying files to the ce device.

       Make

       Miniperl is not built. A pre-existent win32 perl is used.

       The paths for tools and additional libraries have to be changed in wince/makefile.ce.

       Different ce targets can be specified with the TARGET macro.

       Before you start, you need to build celib.dll and w32console.  See instructions in these packages for building.

       In the wince directory, type "nmake -f makefile.ce". This should build perl.exe and perl.dll. For building extension dlls, type "nmake -f
       makefile.ce dlls"

       When building ext dlls, you get lots of macro redefinition errors. Just ignore them.

       For further information, look in the text files in the wince sub-directory.

Acknowledgements
       The port for Win32 was used as a reference.
