Question

I have to create different *.o files from a same set of *.c using various CFLAGS. I wanted to use patsubst to generate different *.o files from same *.c. I am doing something wrong the following statement, please help (I want to generate one set of object files having ($<)_O0.o and the other ($<)_O2.o from the same set of c source files):

 $(CC) $(CFLAGS_02) -c $< -o $(patsubst %.c,%_O2.o,$<)

Thanks

Use patsubst to make lists of the objects that you want to build, and then use separate rules for each type of build.

Something like this:

SRC_FILES = source1.c source2.c 

OBJ_FILES_O0 = $(patsubst %.c,%_O0.o,$(SRC_FILES)) 
OBJ_FILES_O2 = $(patsubst %.c,%_O2.o,$(SRC_FILES))

CFLAGS_O0 := -O0 
CFLAGS_O2 := -O2

all: $(OBJ_FILES_O0) $(OBJ_FILES_O2)

$(OBJ_FILES_O0): %_O0.o: %.c
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS_O0) -c $< -o $@

$(OBJ_FILES_O2): %_O2.o: %.c
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS_O2) -c $< -o $@
