linux makefile

[GulHK]

Hello everyone. I am sorry for posting my problem in the wrong forum. I posted this problem to the UNIX/Linux Programming forum but I think not many people visit that forum.

I am new to creating make files. I have been able to create simple makefiles for those applications which do not involve database but am unable to create for the ones that do involve database. This makefile does not create the executable file liffe_runbreach-64bit and if there is one (generated through the code below) then running the makefile deletes it

That's how my make file looks

There is no error in the code because when I compile the code through the following command, it gives me no error

the error msg is:

Where am I going wrong? Am I not providing the correct mysql path? Could anyone please help me with this.

You need to add the include paths of CFLAGS and the linker paths of LFLAGS.

Thanks kbw

Since I am new to makefiles and linux as well, I have been following some tutorials on the internet and produced this makefile so could you please elaborate your answer?

Many thanks

CFLAGS = -I/usr/include/mysql++ -I/usr/include/mysql -Wall -c $(DEBUG)
LFLAGS = -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64/mysql

Thanks kbw

it still is giving me the same mysql errors and is not creating the exe file ;'(

I expect that's because -lmysqlpp was missed off. It should probably go in a seperate macro like LIBS and added that way, rather than adding it to LFLAGS. You'd need to update the liffe_runbreach-64bit target to use it.

There are better ways to write a makefile though.
