Linux GTK Makefile


Summary This topic provides a template Linux GTK Makefile for developers to use as a starting point.

# Example Makefile for ArcEngine C++ Programming with GTK on Linux

#
# The PROGRAM macro defines the name of the program or project. It
# allows the program name to be changed by editing in only one
# location
#

PROGRAM = GTK_sample

#
# The INCLUDEDIRS macro contains a list of include directories
# to pass to the compiler so it can find necessary header files.
#
# The LIBDIRS macro contains a list of library directories
# to pass to the linker so it can find necessary libraries.
#
# The LIBS macro contains a list of libraries that the the
# executable must be linked against.
#

INCLUDEDIRS = \
-I$(AGSDEVKITHOME)/include \
-I/usr/X11R6/include \
$(shell pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags)

LIBDIRS = \
-L$(AGSDEVKITHOME)/bin \
-L/usr/X11R6/lib

LIBS = \
-larcsdk -lgtkctl -laoctl \
$(shell pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --libs)

#
# The CXXSOURCES macro contains a list of source files.
#
# The CXXOBJECTS macro converts the CXXSOURCES macro into a list
# of object files.
#
# The CXXFLAGS macro contains a list of options to be passed to
# the compiler. Adding "-g" to this line will cause the compiler
# to add debugging information to the executable.
#
# The CXX macro defines the C++ compiler.
#
# The LDFLAGS macro contains all of the library and library
# directory information to be passed to the linker.
#

CXXSOURCES = GTK_sample.cpp
CXXOBJECTS = $(CXXSOURCES:.cpp=.o)
CXXFLAGS = -DESRI_UNIX $(INCLUDEDIRS)
CXX = g++
LDFLAGS = $(LIBDIRS) $(LIBS)

#
# Default target: the first target is the default target.
# Just type "make -f Makefile.LinuxGTK" to build it.
#

all: $(PROGRAM)

#
# Link target: automatically builds its object dependencies before
# executing its link command.
#

$(PROGRAM): $(CXXOBJECTS)
$(CXX) -o $@ $(CXXOBJECTS) $(LDFLAGS)

#
# Object targets: rules that define objects, their dependencies, and
# a list of commands for compilation.
#

GTK_sample.o: GTK_sample.cpp GTK_sample.h
$(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -c -o GTK_sample.o GTK_sample.cpp

#
# Clean target: "make -f Makefile.LinuxGTK clean" to remove unwanted objects and executables.
#

clean:
$(RM) -f $(CXXOBJECTS) $(PROGRAM)

#
# Run target: "make -f Makefile.LinuxGTK run" to execute the application
#

run:
./$(PROGRAM)
