Managed Make C/C++ projects generate makefiles for you.</p> <p>To create your makefile:</p> <ol> <li>In the <b>C++ Projects</b> view, right-click the <b>HelloWorld</b> project folder and select <b>New > File</b>.</li> <li>In the <b>File name</b> box, type <b>makefile</b>.</li> <li>Click <b>Finish</b>.</li> <li>Type the gnu make instructions below in the editor. Lines are indented with tab characters, not with spaces.</li> <blockquote> <p> <br> all: hello.exe<br> <br> clean:<br> rm main.o hello.exe<br> <br> hello.exe: main.o<br> g++ -g -o hello main.o<br> <br> main.o:<br> g++ -c -g main.cpp<br> </p> </blockquote> <li>Click <b>File > Save</b>.</li></ol> <p>Your new makefile, along with your main.cpp file are displayed in the C/C++ Projects view and in the Navigator view. Your project now contains main.cpp and makefile. You can now build your HelloWorld project.</p> <p> <a href="cdt_w_build.htm" style="text-decoration: none"> <img border="0" src="../images/ngnext.gif" width="16" height="16"></a> <b><a href="cdt_w_build.htm"> Next: Building your project</a><a href="cdt_w_build.htm" style="text-decoration: none"> </a> </b> </p> <p align="left"> <a href="cdt_w_newcpp.htm"> <img border="0" src="../images/ngback.gif" width="16" height="16"></a> <b><a href="cdt_w_newcpp.htm">Back: Creating your C++ file</a></b> </p> <p><img border="0" src="../images/ngconcepts.gif" ALT="Related concepts" width="143" height="21"> <br> <a href="../concepts/cdt_o_projects.htm">Project</a><br> <a href="../concepts/cdt_o_code_entry.htm">Code entry</a></p> <p><img border="0" src="../images/ngtasks.gif" ALT="Related tasks" width="143" height="21"> <br> <a href="../tasks/cdt_o_proj_files.htm">Working with C/C++ project files</a><br> <a href="../tasks/cdt_o_write_code.htm">Writing code</a></p> <p><img border="0" src="../images/ngref.gif" ALT="Related reference" width="143" height="21"> <br> <a href="../reference/cdt_o_proj_prop_pages.htm">C/C++ Projects view</a></p> <p> <img src="../images/ng03_04.gif" ALT="IBM Copyright Statement" BORDER=0 width="324" height="14"> </body> </html>
