    Makefile help

    I want to change this command line compile code:
    gcc -Wall project.c -o outputFile -lposix4

    to the following makefile:

    Code:
    CC = gcc
    DEBUG = -g
    CFILES = project.c
    HFILES = 
    
    outputFile: $(CFILES) $(HFILES)
            $(CC) $(DEBUG) -o outputFile $(CFILES)
    
    clean:
            rm outputFile
    However, I don't know how to get that library added to my makefile. Anyone know how?

    Code:
        $(CC) $(DEBUG) -o outputFile $(CFILES) -lposix4
    Probably like that. Or add a section for flags:
    Code:
    CCFLAGS = -Wall -lposix4

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    Well done Hansel; you have climbed many conceptual mountains this week. I maintain your aptitude would be wasted in sales or marketing.
    C/C++ Environment: GNU CC/Emacs
    Make system: CMake
    Debuggers: Valgrind/GDB

    We will see. My Dad is an engineer and works at Intel, so I might just follow in his footsteps there. Really depends on what school I get into for my Masters and how life plays out. Thanks for your help again on that consumer/producers problem. You'll probably see me post here a bit more this fall.
