Question

Here are my two questions:

1. I am now learning to manage my code with CVS, and I just want to make a repository for my C++ files, Makefile and bash and python scri

Answer 1

If you want to learn make, the GNU make manual is very good, both as a reference and a tutorial. You might want to consider using the patsubst command. The following is a chopped down version of one of my own makefiles that uses it:

OUT = bin/csvfix.exe
CC = g++
IDIR = inc
ODIR = obj
SDIR = src
INC = -Iinc -I../alib/inc
LIBS = ../alib/lib/alib.a -lodbc32 

_OBJS = csved_atable.o \
        csved_case.o \
        csved_cli.o \
        csved_command.o \
        csved_date.o \

OBJS = $(patsubst %,$(ODIR)/%,$(_OBJS))

$(ODIR)/%.o: $(SDIR)/%.cpp 
    $(CC) -c $(INC) -o $@ $< $(CFLAGS) 

$(OUT): $(OBJS)
    $(CC) -o $@ $^ $(CFLAGS) $(LIBS)
    strip $(OUT)

clean:
    rm -f $(ODIR)/*.o $(OUT)
