What do the following two lines mean which apear in a makefile? I have searched google and cannot find any thing about them.

tar: clean
( cd .. && tar cvfz $(TARGET)-`date "+%Y-%m-%d"`.tar.gz $(TARGET) ; cd - )

-include $(wildcard *.d) \u2013


TARGET and wildcard have not been defined in the makefile????

Thanks for your help.

Harry.

It is a bit hard to tell you without knowing what the makefile is from. Can you post the whole makefile or a link to the program it is with?

Cheers...

RM = rm -f

CC = arm_v5t_le-gcc

DFBLIB = /usr/local/lib
DFBINC = /usr/local/include


CPPFLAGS = -g -Wall -O2 -MD -D_REENTRANT -I. -I${DFBINC}/directfb
LDFLAGS = -g -Wall -O2 -L${DFBLIB} -ldirectfb -lfusion -ldirect -lpthread


PROGRAM = test
all: $(PROGRAM)

tar: clean
( cd .. && tar cvfz $(TARGET)-`date "+%Y-%m-%d"`.tar.gz $(TARGET) ; cd - )

clean:
$(RM) *.d *.o $(TARGET)


-include $(wildcard *.d) \u2013

This makefile is for a directfb program. It only consists of a single .cpp file. I wish to modify this makefile because my program has grew to include two other classes which are in the following files: Test1.cpp, Test1.h,Test2.cpp, Test2.h.

I wish to understand the whole file so I can then modify it to include these other files.

Thanks for your help.

Can anyone help me here????
