I have a number of C++ files distributed in several folders.
a_library/
file1.cpp
file2.cpp
category1/
file3.cpp
file4.cpp
They are guaruanteed to be uniquely named. I want to compile all those C++ files to seperate Object-files in the obj/
directory.
I have a list of all source-files with relative path, and their corresponding destination-names.
a_library/file1.cpp
a_library/file2.cpp
a_library/category1/file3.cpp
a_library/category1/file4.cpp
obj/file1.obj
obj/file2.obj
obj/file3.obj
obj/file4.obj
How can I make a rule that will convert a C++ file from the first list to a object-file from the second one?
These attempts do not work:
obj/%.obj: %:cpp
# ...
%.obj: %.cpp
# ...
.cpp.obj:
# ...
I would like to not write rules like this:
obj/%.obj: a_library/%.cpp
# ...
obj/%.obj: a_library/category1/%.cpp
# ...
