The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

basic GNU makefile for small c++ prog

Asked by lbertacco in Miscellaneous Programming, Linux Programming, C++ Programming Language

Tags: gnu, make, make

This is under linux using GNU tools and in particular GNU make (I don't care about Makefile portability) What's the "best" makefile for a small c++ project made of 3 c++ files and using a third party module (with its includes and lib)?
Let's starting with this
---
MYINCDIR  = /usr/blabla/inc
MYLIBDIR  = /usr/blabla/lib

LDFLAGS = -L$(MYLIBDIR) -lmylib -lm -lpthread
CPPFLAGS = -m64 -O -fPIC -fexceptions -DNDEBUG -I$(MYINCDIR)

OBJS=a.o b.o c.o
PROG=myprog

$(PROG): $(OBJS)
        $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) -o $@ $^ $(LDFLAGS)

clean:
        rm -f $(PROG) $(OBJS)
----
GNU make has several implicit rules and maybe tricks that I don't know. Can you make suggestions to improve this makefile with the following aims:
- keep it small and short, exploiting gnu make implicit rules and mechanisms (but keeping compilation and linking separate)
- avoid the explicit rule for linking. Note that by default gnu make use gcc (instead of g++) for linking .o files (but that wouldn't work on a c++ project) and also note that if the implicit rule passes the -l options before the OBJS list, that can also break the linking. That's why in the sample above here I had to use an explicit rule. But maybe there is a better way.
- I'd prefer to specify the list of source files, rather than the list of intermediate .o files
- is there a better way to specify additional include dirs (maybe using .INCLUDE_DIRS?) and library dirs?
- is there any automatic mechanism for handling .h dependencies
