Gnu Makefile - Handling dependencies

Question

What approach do C++ programmers on Unix platform use to create and manage Makefiles?

I was using hand made Makefiles for my projects but they don\'t handle header file

Answer 1

In a make file anything you list on the dependency line is a dependency header files or other files included.

BSD tutorial on make Note: you can auto generate header dependency info with the -MM switch of GCC.
