Re: Makefile template and dependency problem

[Darin Johnson]

You don't need to do a "make depend" for any reasonably current version of GCC.
If your GCC supports the "-MMD" flag, it will automatically create a ".d" file 
at the
same time that it creates the ".d" file.

Then all you really need in your Makefile is:

    CFLAGS += -MMD   # maybe add -MP also
    ...
    ...
    ifeq ($(filter clean lessclean mrproper,$(MAKECMDGOALS)),)
    -include $(OBJDIR)/*.d
    endif

(There's a snag if you use "distcc" and put ".o" files in a different directory 
than
the source files, in which case you can add "-MF $(@:.o=.d)" to CFLAGS.)
