Maintaining a Directory of Header Files

The makefile for maintaining an include directory of headers is quite simple. Since headers consist of plain text, all that is needed is a target, all, that lists them as dependencies. Automatic SCCS retrieval takes care of the rest. If you use a macro for the list of headers, this same list can be used in other target entries.

# Makefile for maintaining an include directory.  

FILES.h= calc.h map.h draw.h 

all: $(FILES.h) 

clean: 
        	rm -f $(FILES.h)
