Use a pattern rule. You may want to experiment where you locate the
makefile (i.e. along with the txt or along with the html).
%.html: txt/%.txt
txt2html $*.txt
If you place the makefile way up, you'd have to do something like
A/B/C/%.html: A/B/C/txt/%.txt
txt2html A/B/C/txt/$*.txt
(Note the line with txt2html starts with a <tab>).
The "%" means it will match any pattern as long as it ends with .html and
as long as it can find the same file in txt/ and ending with .txt
I found the following link useful when architecting my project makefile
structure:
http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/SOFTWARE/DOCUMENTS/srt_html/c24702884.html
I found the book Managing Projects with make to be nearly completely
useless as it does not explain how to manage projects bigger than a single
compile.
