Makefile

# Makefile template for a shared library in C
# https://www.topbug.net/blog/2019/10/28/makefile-template-for-a-shared-library-in-c-with-explanations/

CC = gcc  # C compiler
CFLAGS = -fPIC -Wall -Wextra -O2 -g  # C flags
LDFLAGS = -shared   # linking flags
RM = rm -f   # rm command
TARGET_LIB = libtarget.so  # target lib

SRCS = main.c src1.c src2.c  # source files
OBJS = $(SRCS:.c=.o)

.PHONY: all
all: ${TARGET_LIB}

$(TARGET_LIB): $(OBJS)
	$(CC) ${LDFLAGS} -o $@ $^

$(SRCS:.c=.d):%.d:%.c
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -MM $< >$@

include $(SRCS:.c=.d)

.PHONY: clean
clean:
	-${RM} ${TARGET_LIB} ${OBJS} $(SRCS:.c=.d)

What about header file ?

@nainesh1311 You don't need to add them to the Makefile, because we should only send source files directly to the compiler and the compiler will find header files automatically.

Fix
$(SRCS:.c=.d):%.d:%.c
to
$(SRCS:.c=.o):%.o:%.c

And...
Why do you use the -MM option if you don’t have an entry point in `$(SRCS:.c=.d)? Where you using .d file?
https://renenyffenegger.ch/notes/development/languages/C-C-plus-plus/GCC/options/MM

$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -MM $< >$@ create some .d files

@dr-begemot $(SRCS:.c=.d):%.d:%.c is correct. The *.d files are used in the include line. $(SRCS:.c=.o):%.o:%.c is not needed because they are subsumed by the content of *.d files. In your link, there is an example that states main.d contains:

main.o: main.c hello-world.h print-line.h

which is exactly what your "correction" tries to add (with header files also taken care of).

@xuhdev
okay, then where entry point to
$(SRCS:.c=.d):%.d:%.c
?

You wrote: $(TARGET_LIB): $(OBJS)
where OBJS is $(SRCS:.c=.o), .c=.o, not .c=.d

I really want to understand)

$(SRCS:.c=.d):%.d:%.c is used to generate *.d files.

$(SRCS:.c=.o) are expressed in the generated *.d files. (Try to use this template in a minimum project and inspect the generated *.d files yourself.) I can write a post explaining this template, but I will not be able to do it until weekend.

How to force your way accept include path -I?

@dr-begemot I've written a blog post explaining this file: https://www.topbug.net/blog/2019/10/28/makefile-template-for-a-shared-library-in-c-with-explanations/

HTH

can any one tell me how to add shared library in my main project make file

can any one tell me how to add shared library in my main project make file

-l

for example:
gcc -w -Wall -g $(SRCS) -o test.exe $(FLAGS) -lsqlite3 -lcrypto -lconfig -lprotobuf-c -lcurl $(INCLUDE)

thanks for response

but one think i am not understanding actually i install embedded eclipse for windows when i create shared library output fill generated lib.so file as for my knowladge lib.so file generate base on linux system . why its happen like that

if i successfully generated library then where i add the this line

gcc -w -Wall -g $(SRCS) -o test.exe $(FLAGS) -lsqlite3 -lcrypto -lconfig -lprotobuf-c -lcurl $(INCLUDE)

in make
please consider the my attachment of make file
