bash script or makefile question

[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy]

whenever I want to compile a project that uses SDL functions I have to type this:

code:

[#user@machine program] g++ `sdl-config  --libs --cflags` program.cpp -o program

using a makefile or a script is there a pragmatic way to compile without the `sdl-config --libs --clfags`?

You would simply add that to a variable like CXX_FLAGS.

so like?

code:

#makefile ########### # build options CXX_Flags = sdl-config --libs --cflags

[rdrake]

something like the following is often used:

code:

########## # Variables CXX=g++ CXXFLAGS=sdl-config --libs --cflags ########## # Make it all all : program.o         $(CXX) program.o -c program.exe program.o :         $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) program.c

Remember the 8 spaces should be converted to a real tab.

the above didn't work. instead i did
[EDIT: When i say the above I meant my post.]

code:

# rules # program.exec:           g++ `sdl-config --libs --cflags`

[rdrake]

Since my post had just been replied to, I cannot change it. The "-c" option in my example should be "-o".

rdrake, first thanks, second you also need the `.

code:

CXX=g++ CXXFLAGS=`sdl-config --libs --cflags`

Yes, you still need the quotes for it to work; but you can easily add it to your CXX_FLAGS.

They aren't quotes. As someone not too savy with bash I dont know exactly what they do, but I know that they are accents (the tild key) and that single quotes will NOT work.

[md]

Yes, whatever; I call them quotes You should split it up though `sdl-config --cflags` goes in CXX_FLAGS and `sdl-config --libs` goes in LD_FLAGS.

LD_FLAGS would be used where you take your object files and create an executable.

[wtd]

Yes, you do need the backticks as they take the commend inside, execute it, and return its output.
