The following is part of a make file to update a library. The source files
for the library reside in multiple directories with each directory
responsible to make it's modules and place them in the library. The problem
I'm having is with the $? variable, it is supposed to contain a list of all
prerequisites that are newer the target. When the library does not exist
everything works as expected. If the library does exist but the specific
module does not the module gets compiled but is not included in $? and so is
not placed in the library.
LIBROOT = mylib.a
LIBRARY = ../$(PLATFORM)/$(LIBROOT)
OBJS = file1.o \
file2.o \
file3.o
LIBOBJS = $(OBJS:%=$(LIBRARY)(%))
$(LIBRARY): $(LIBOBJS)
$(AR) r $@ $?
$(RM) $?
(%.o): %.c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) -c $< -o $*.o
