project management with make
the question is
The code in project2 is for a program that plays a simple game called
Chomp
.
The programmers of this project have opted to package some of their code in a “module” called chomp.adt, from which the related files cookie.h and cookie.cpp files can be generated.
The steps necessary to produce this program are:
- Run the command
csplit chomp.adt “/Split Here/”
and copy the resulting file xx00 to cookie.h. - Run the command
csplit chomp.adt “/Split Here/”
and copy the resulting file xx01 to cookie.cpp. - Compile cookie.cpp to produce cookie.o.
- Compile mainProg.cpp to produce mainProg.o.
- Link the the .o files to produce an executable program named playChomp
Write a makefile that will carry out these steps. Your makefile should result in only the minimum required amount of steps when any input file to this process is changed. (Note: you will probably not be able to base this makefile upon my self-updating makefile as in the earlier part of the assignment. Instead, you will probably find it necessary to write this one from scratch.
_________________________________________________
I am currently having an issuewith the question above. I am meant to create a makefile that runsthe program like stated above, and currently this is mymakefile:
all: cookie.h cookie.cpp playChomp cookie.o mainProg.o
cookie.h: chomp.adt
csplit chomp.adt “/Split Here/”
cp xx00 cookie.h
cp xx01 cookie.cpp
playChomp: cookie.o mainProg.o
g++ -o playChomp cookie.o mainProg.o
cookie.o: cookie.cpp
g++ -c cookie.cpp
mainProg.o: mainProg.cpp
g++ -c mainProg.cpp
However, I am receiving this error code:
Your makefile does not build playChomp in 3 distinct g++ stepswhen chomp.adt has been changed:
csplit chomp.adt “/Split Here/”
1372
8632
cp xx00 cookie.h
cp xx01 cookie.cpp
g++ -c cookie.cpp
g++ -o playChomp cookie.o mainProg.o
is there anything that I can do to fix my makefile?
