Hi,
I am new to SDL. Where do I make the changes in the makefile or
makefile.in etc so that I am able to compile a “.cpp” file. I tried changing
but it still searches for a “.c” file and throws error while compiling.
regards,
Paresh.
If you could show the errors it might help. In general however, make
will process C++ files with the ending of .cc (instead of .cpp)
it will use the command:
$(CXX) -c $(CPPFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS)
by default as described in the info files. You can always write an
explicit rule for the file using
My Simple makefile
CC = gcc
CXX = g++ # yes this is being anal
CFLAGS = sdl-config --cflags # let sdl do it for us
LDFLAGS = sdl-config --libs # and for libraries too
PROGIE = foo # not everything has to be standard
HEADERS = foo.h
SRCS = foo.cpp
OBJS := $(SRCS: %.cpp %.o) # ooh fancy a rewrite
foo.o : foo.cpp $(HEADERS)
$(CXX) -c foo.cpp $(CFLAGS)
foo : $(OBJS)
$(CXX) -o $(PROGIE) $(OBJS) $(LDFLAGS)
.SILENT: test # we can turn auto echo this way
test : foo
./foo # if you can’t run the file then it is busted
end of makefile
I would highly recommend actually reading the info pages for make, gcc,
etc. The above example should highlights just a few of the cool things
one can do with make. In general, you shouldn’t be editing a Makefile.in
though, as that is generated by automake from the Makefile.am. Once
again, I suggest reading the info pages. Automake is powerful, intimidating,
and fairly well documented. It works well with autoconf which generates
the configure scripts from configure.in (confusing I know).
All of this stuff is not really SDL related but general GNU tools stuff.
If you really need help, talk to me off the list and I’d be happy to help.

Hi,
Thank you Dave Goehrig, I modified the makefile that you send and now I
am able to compile my “.cpp” files.
