Question

I have a project that has three files. The main file is called login.c.
I want to #include my other two files using make, but I’m having trouble doing so.
Thanks in advance for any advice!!

here is my makefile:

objects = login.o cipher.o linked.o
coptions = -Wall -g -ggdb

loginTest: ${objects}
    gcc ${coptions} -o loginTest ${objects}
login.o: login.c cipher.h linked.h
    gcc -c ${coptions} login.c 
cipher.o: cipher.c cipher.h
    gcc -c ${coptions} cipher.c
linked.o: linked.c linked.h
    gcc -c ${coptions} linked.c

the error I get:

make: *** No rule to make target `cipher.h', needed by `login.o'.  Stop.

the files in my current working directory:

cipher.c
linked.c
linked.o
login.c
makefile

Answer 1

make can not automatically create *.h.

You need to create it and #include that *.h file by yourself.
