A More Elegant Makefile Example

Makefile

# Compiler
CC = gcc

# Compiler flags
CFLAGS = -Wall -Wextra -pedantic

# Source files
SRCS = datecode.c date_validator_helper.c main.c

# Object files
OBJS = $(SRCS:.c=.o)

# Target executable
TARGET = datecode

# Default target
all: $(TARGET)

# Link object files
$(TARGET): $(OBJS)
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $(TARGET) $(OBJS)

# Compile source files
%.o: %.c
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $< -o $@

# Clean up
clean:
	rm -f $(OBJS) $(TARGET)
