gcc/g++ option to place all object files into separate directory

Question

I am wondering why gcc/g++ doesn\'t have an option to place the generated object files into a specified directory.

For example:

mkdir builddir
mkdir

I am trying to figure out the same thing. For me this worked

CC = g++
CFLAGS = -g -Wall -Iinclude
CV4LIBS = `pkg-config --libs opencv4`
CV4FLAGS = `pkg-config --cflags opencv4`

default: track

track:  main.o
    $(CC) -o track $(CV4LIBS) ./obj/main.o

ALLFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) $(CV4FLAGS)
main.o: ./src/main.cpp ./include/main.hpp
    $(CC) $(ALLFLAGS) -c ./src/main.cpp $(CV4LIBS) -o ./obj/main.o
