I don't know if this group has a FAQ, but I did answer this only two days
ago and it seems that only 5 more messages has been written in this group
since then.

Method 1)

Manually add lines like:

crc32.o: crc32.h globals.h

Method 2)

Let gcc do the job for you, modify the following lines in your Makefile:

%.o: %.cpp %.d
        $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $<

%.d: %.cpp
        $(CXX) -MM $(CXXFLAGS) -MT $@ $< > $@

ifneq ($(wildcard *.d),)
include $(wildcard *.d)
endif

clean:
        rm -f $(OBJECTS) $(EXEC) *~ *.stackdump *.d
