gcc/g++ option to place all object files into separate directory

by

This is the chopped down makefile for one of my projects, which compiles the sources in ‘src’ and places the .o files in the directory “obj”. The key bit is the the use of the patsubst() function – see the GNU make manual (which is actually a pretty good read) for details:

OUT = lib/alib.a
CC = g++
ODIR = obj
SDIR = src
INC = -Iinc

_OBJS = a_chsrc.o a_csv.o a_enc.o a_env.o a_except.o \
        a_date.o a_range.o a_opsys.o
OBJS = $(patsubst %,$(ODIR)/%,$(_OBJS))


$(ODIR)/%.o: $(SDIR)/%.cpp 
    $(CC) -c $(INC) -o $@ $< $(CFLAGS) 

$(OUT): $(OBJS) 
    ar rvs $(OUT) $^

.PHONY: clean

clean:
    rm -f $(ODIR)/*.o $(OUT)
