    Makefile and Source Code

    Hi,

    i have created a C++ project with 3 .cpp files (a main + 2 classes) and 2 .h files.
    I am required now to send a makefile that builds the application and the source code to my professor for review.
    The think is that i do not know what to send, especially for the make file.
    I am using Fedora 23 and Eclipse Mars.
    In the project there are 2 folders, a Debug and a src. In the Debug there is a makefile which i guess was auto-generated, some other files, a src folder and a file that as it says is exceccutable.
    Any idea of what do i have to sent so that my professor can build and run my project with a makefile?

    Thank you

    The makefile that was generated would be a starting point.

    You might need to edit it to take into account that you have
    src/*.cpp
    src/*.h
    Debug/Makefile

    So that there is also a compatible makefile in your source directory as well.

    You test it by opening a console window, changing directory to src, and typing 'make'
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
