Makefile help.

[Cpro]

I need some help with this makefile (never made one before).

I have a c++ program, and here is how I compile an run it on unix (works fine this way):
g++ TestProg.cpp -lpthread -lrt
./a.out

I'm suppose to create a makefile for this. I've read through some tutorials and examples, but I can't get it to work. This is what I have now:

prog1: TestProg.cpp
	g++ -o prog1 TestProg.cpp -lpthread -lrt

I don't know if this matters, but here are the headers included in TestProg.cpp:
#include <iostream>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <semaphore.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <fstream>

When I go to use it:
make -f makefile.txt
It says:
' ake: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target 'TestProg.cpp

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Make sure you have a space between the colon and the filename, not a tab. (It shouldn't make a difference, it doesn't on my machine, but you never know.) But it should not interpret things on the same line as the target as other targets.

(That is to say, the makefile you have works fine for me.)

Well, I re-made the make file using vi editor instead of notepad, and it now works.

Thank you for letting me know it worked for you. I thought I had made it incorrectly.

Thanks.
