Re: [Mingw-users] Makefile problems

Make file basics.  You link target is phony so it gets executed every 
time.  You need a real file target so that make can check the date with 
it against the dates of it dependencies.  Or make a dependency of the 
link target the real file, see below.  I'm sure that this can be improved.

.PHONY : link

myprog.exe : $(OBJECTS)
	g++ -o myprog.exe $(OBJECTS) $(LINKFLAGS)
