Makefile wildcards!

Blogging after a very long gap!

There came a need to compile all the c files in directory.Learnt that i need to make use of wildcards

a makefile to compile all C source files in the directory and then link them together could be written as follows:

objects := $(patsubst %.c,%.o,$(wildcard *.c))

foo : $(objects)
      cc -o foo $(objects)

and a few pointers as usual
