how to write makefile for a project
 

suppose I have a project named Proj, which include to folders, one is Proj1, another is Prjo2;
in Proj1, there are 3 cpp files : p1.cpp, p2.cpp, p3.cpp
in Proj2, there are another 2 files: p4.cpp, p5.cpp, p6.cpp

now I need write makefile to compile the Proj in linux environment. I think each folder there need a makefile, so total 3 makefiles are needed. How to write the makefiles to compile the project? Thanks!

hi kazmood,
Simple way to install any source package is to extract it. then check configure script in parent directory of that package. if you find it then just do ./configure then make then make install
This all you have to do on console only with user as root and that's all it. But if you got any error message while doing ./configure check that one. you will not be able to install it until you solve those errors that can be -> requiring any prior library/any package installed.
