[Dev-C++] How to customize makefile?

[Maxim Y. <ma...@en...>]

Hello, everybody!

 How can I customize makefile, generated by DevC++ ? Whe I edit it, it's
 re-created on each build & all my changes are lost.
 I need this to include .h-files dependencies, like that:
main.o: main.cpp myclass.h

-- 
Regards!

I ran into the same problem recently and found the following bit of lateral
thinking worked nicely:

In the Dev-C++ IDE, choose Compiler Options from the Tools menu and set a
compile delay of 5000ms. Create a copy of your make file called, say,
makecopy.win. Now create a text file in your project's directory and save
with the BAT extension. Paste this into it:

@echo off
copy makecopy.win makefile.win /Y

Save, then create a shortcut to this BAT file in your Quick Launch bar or
somewhere else convenient. Now, whenever you compile your project, in the
5000ms delay between makefile generation and execution by Dev-C++ of gcc,
click your shortcut and it will restore the overwritten makefile to your
customised version.

There's probably an easier way that I'm not aware of, though. :-)

What about the "makefile" tab in project options? :p

Hello,

what I do is:

create a customMakefile.mak that contains:
main.o: main.cpp myclass.h
    $(CPP) -c main.cpp -o main.o $(CXXFLAGS)

add this file in project options > Makefile

then in project options > Files > Project files > main.cpp uncheck Include
in compilation
