How to tell makefile my source is in a subdirectory?

[Dormoxx]

Hey all,

My main source file and makefile is in one folder. I then have a subdirectory named "Framework" where my Entity/Component framework source is. My questions is, as you can tell from the title, how do I tell the makefile that my source is in that "Framework" subdirectory?

Either specify your source files with the directory as a part of it (so specify them as "Framework/file.c" or whatnot instead of "file.c"), or put a Makefile in your Framework directory to build the source files and make the Makefile in the root directory build the subdirectory (something as simple as this should work):

Code: Select all

all:
	$(MAKE) -C Framework

I usually like to create a SRCDIRS variable at the top of my Makefiles with multiple subdirectories:

Code: Select all

SRCDIRS:=source components/source

Then later populate a list of all .c/.cpp files from these directories:

Code: Select all

CPP_SRC:=$(foreach dir,$(SRCDIRS),$(wildcard $(dir)/*.cpp))
C_SRC:= $(foreach dir,$(SRCDIRS),$(wildcard $(dir)/*.c))
