Question

I have following makefile:

main.o: ServerSocket/main.cpp ../Shared/socket.h 
    g++ -c ServerSocket/main.cpp  -lstdc++

DriveInfo.o: ServerSocket/DriveInfo.cpp ServerSocket/DriveInfo.h ServerSocket/Consts.h
    g++ -c ServerSocket/DriveInfo.cpp  -lstdc++

ProcessInfo.o: ServerSocket/ProcessInfo.cpp ServerSocket/ProcessInfo.h ServerSocket/Consts.h
    g++ -c ServerSocket/ProcessInfo.cpp  -lstdc++

thread_pool.o: ServerSocket/thread_pool.cpp ServerSocket/thread_pool.h 
DriveInfo.o ProcessInfo.o thread_pool.o
server: main.o 
    g++ -o server main.o 
DriveInfo.o ProcessInfo.o thread_pool.o

Problem is only one command of that file is being executed, so if I want to execute the next one< I have to delete or comment previous command. What is wrong with this makefile?

Answer 1

Make execute by default the first rule you provide it.

You want to create a rule that execute all the rules you provide

all : main.o DriveInfo.o ProcessInfo.o thread_pool.o

and place it at the begin of your Makefile or call it with make all
