I have been trying to compile GLEW with MINGW on Windows as explained here
However I get the "commands commence before first target"
Makefile (I cannot get the formatting to work here)
Thanks

Make expect “rules” with the following shape:
target: prerequisites ...
command
...
You need to define a target in your makefile before the first call to gcc. Just add a line with glew: in the beginning. Each line with a command need to start with a tab character.
Have a look at the introduction section of the make manual for more information: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Introduction.html
modified version of your makefile (makefile.mod)

It looks like everything goes fine until the end:

Is there any way I fix this, and what does the command -lm and -lc do?

You need to install libreadline-dev, or a similar package suitable for your system (you should also specify what your system is).

generic makefile to create multiple executable using different flags

I would like to create a generic Makefile that builds several executables using different compiler flags for each executable without using shell commands. The executable file name should be composed from the source file and a unique post fixed name. It should also produce an assembly or preprocessor file per source file if needed.
For the target BIN_BDG_FILES, the "$<" (exercise-1.1.0.c ) is always the first item from the list (exercise-1.1.0.c exercise-1.1.1.c exercise-1.2.0.c exercise-1.2.1.c) as expected. I tried without success to modify the SRC_FILES using the filter-out function. My intent was to remove the first item from the list for each Target, so that the first item corresponds to the correct target. I am not sure this is the correct approach. Your comments are welcome.
i.e.
This is my attempt at using built in make constructs.
$(BIN_DBG_FILES): $(SRC_FILES)
$(CC) $(DBG_CFLAGS) $(IFLAGS) $< -o $#
echo SRC_FILES := $(filter-out $<, $(SRC_FILES))
Makefile
SHELL = bash
SRC_FILES = $(wildcard *.c)
BIN_FILES = $(patsubst %.c,%,$(SRC_FILES))
BIN_DBG_FILES = $(patsubst %.c,%-dbg,$(SRC_FILES))
SRC_PRE = $(patsubst %.c,%-pre,$(SRC_FILES))
CC = gcc
WARNINGS := -Wall
CFLAGS = -O2 -std=c99 $(WARNINGS)
DBG_CFLAGS = -g -O -std=c99 $(WARNINGS)
PRE_FLAG = -E
IFLAGS = -I.
all: $(BIN_FILES) $(BIN_DBG_FILES) MK-BASH
$(BIN_DBG_FILES): $(SRC_FILES)
$(CC) $(DBG_CFLAGS) $(IFLAGS) $< -o $#
MK-BASH::
for src in $(SRC_FILES); do \
echo $(CC) $(DBG_CFLAGS) $(IFLAGS) $$src -o $${src%.c}-dbg; \
$(CC) $(DBG_CFLAGS) $(IFLAGS) $$src -o $${src%.c}-dbg; \
$(CC) $(DBG_CFLAGS) $(IFLAGS) $$src -o $${src%.c}-dbg; \
$(CC) $(PRE_FLAG) $$src > $${src%.c}-pre; \
done
clean:
rm -f $(BIN_FILES) *-dbg *-pre
This is the output from executing make command.
This is the output from the target BIN_FILES.
gcc -O2 -std=c99 -Wall exercise-1.1.0.c -o exercise-1.1.0
gcc -O2 -std=c99 -Wall exercise-1.1.1.c -o exercise-1.1.1
gcc -O2 -std=c99 -Wall exercise-1.2.0.c -o exercise-1.2.0
gcc -O2 -std=c99 -Wall exercise-1.2.1.c -o exercise-1.2.1
This is the output from target BIN_DBG_FILES which uses the first source file on the list to build all targets. It should use the appropriate file (exercise-1.1.1.c) to build each target file (exercise-1.1.1-dbg).
gcc -g -O -std=c99 -Wall -I. **exercise-1.1.0.c** -o exercise-1.1.0-dbg
gcc -g -O -std=c99 -Wall -I. **exercise-1.1.0.c** -o exercise-1.1.1-dbg
gcc -g -O -std=c99 -Wall -I. **exercise-1.1.0.c** -o exercise-1.2.0-dbg
gcc -g -O -std=c99 -Wall -I. **exercise-1.1.0.c** -o exercise-1.2.1-dbg
This is the output from the target MK-BASH using shell commands.
for src in exercise-1.1.0.c exercise-1.1.1.c exercise-1.2.0.c exercise-1.2.1.c; do \
echo gcc -g -O -std=c99 -Wall -I. $src -o ${src%.c}-dbg; \
gcc -g -O -std=c99 -Wall -I. $src -o ${src%.c}-dbg; \
gcc -g -O -std=c99 -Wall -I. $src -o ${src%.c}-dbg; \
gcc -E $src > ${src%.c}-pre; \
done
output:
gcc -g -O -std=c99 -Wall -I. exercise-1.1.0.c -o exercise-1.1.0-dbg
gcc -g -O -std=c99 -Wall -I. exercise-1.1.1.c -o exercise-1.1.1-dbg
gcc -g -O -std=c99 -Wall -I. exercise-1.2.0.c -o exercise-1.2.0-dbg
gcc -g -O -std=c99 -Wall -I. exercise-1.2.1.c -o exercise-1.2.1-dbg
Use a pattern rule:
DBG: $(BIN_DBG_FILES)
%-dbg: %.c
#echo $(CC) $(DBG_CFLAGS) $(IFLAGS) $< -o $#

Why does make delete my temporary files?

I have a simple Makefile,
.PHONY: clean
PROGRAMS=$(patsubst main%.cpp,example%,$(wildcard main*.cpp))
all: ${PROGRAMS}
GCCVERSION=$(shell gcc -dumpversion)
GLCFLAGS=$(shell pkg-config --cflags gl)
CPPFLAGS=-Wall -O2 ${GLCFLAGS}
ifeq "${GCCVERSION}" "4.5.2"
CXXFLAGS=-std=c++0x
else
CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11
endif
GLLIBS=$(shell pkg-config --libs gl)
LIBS=${GLLIBS} -lglut
example%: main%.o shaders.o fileutils.o
${CXX} $^ ${LIBS} -o $#
clean:
rm -f *.o ${PROGRAMS}
But when I executed it, it delete the *.o files as last command. I don't know why:
$ make
g++ -std=c++11 -Wall -O2 -I/usr/include/libdrm -c -o main01.o main01.cpp
g++ -std=c++11 -Wall -O2 -I/usr/include/libdrm -c -o shaders.o shaders.cpp
g++ -std=c++11 -Wall -O2 -I/usr/include/libdrm -c -o fileutils.o fileutils.cpp
g++ main01.o shaders.o fileutils.o -lGL -lglut -o example01
rm main01.o fileutils.o shaders.o
Is there anything wrong with my Makefile?
Intermediate files are deleted by design: see Chained Rules in GNU make manual.
Use .SECONDARY or .PRECIOUS targets to keep your precioussss temp files.
Just to clarify the previous response, you need to add a special rule like
.PRECIOUS: myfile.o

Boost static linking in unix

I am using the Boost library in Unix, GCC. I read the following topic: Boost static linking and added -static to my Makefile. However, this does not work.
Here is my Makefile:
all: nbbo
nbbo: nbbo.o reader.o
g++ -static -O3 -ffast-math -funroll-loops -ansi -pedantic-errors -L/usr/lib -lboost_filesystem -lboost_serialization -lboost_iostreams -lz -I /usr/include/boost -o nbbo nbbo.o reader.o
nbbo.o: nbbo.cpp
g++ -static -O3 -ffast-math -funroll-loops -ansi -pedantic-errors -I /usr/include/boost -c -o nbbo.o nbbo.cpp
reader.o: reader.cc reader.h
g++ -static -O3 -ffast-math -funroll-loops -ansi -pedantic-errors -I /usr/include/boost -c -o reader.o reader.cc
clean:
rm *.o
And here is the error message:
nbbo.o: In function `__tcf_10':
nbbo.cpp:(.text+0x3d9): undefined reference to `boost::serialization::extended_type_info::key_unregister() const'
nbbo.cpp:(.text+0x3e3): undefined reference to `boost::serialization::typeid_system::extended_type_info_typeid_0::type_unregister()'
nbbo.cpp:(.text+0x3fb): undefined reference to `boost::serialization::typeid_system::extended_type_info_typeid_0::~extended_type_info_typeid_0()'
etc
Which "UNIX" are you using? Using the -static flag should work fine on linux. But not on OSX. On OSX you have to remove the static flag and give the complete path to the library in order to link statically. I dont know how this would work on other "UNIXes"
eg.
g++ ..... /path/to/your/lib.a ... -o ..
