I see why you tried to attach them: all the initial whitespace is
fried.
Seriously, you need a better mail client: the one you're using has
issues.
I tried your makefile with some temporary files:
SourceFiles/foo.cpp
SourceFiles/bar.cpp
and it worked fine for me (with GNU make 3.80 on a Debian GNU/Linux
system): the first time through it created the directory and the .o
files, and the second time through it didn't.
Please add the -d option to your make invocation to get some debug
output (you'll have to redirect it to a file, there will be a lot of
it), and look there to see why make decides to rebuild your object
files.
at> ObjectFiles := $(patsubst SourceFiles/%, IntermediateFiles/%,$(patsubst
at> %.cpp, %.o, $(SourceFiles)))
This is more easily done as just:
ObjectFiles := $(patsubst
SourceFiles/%.cpp,IntermediateFiles/%.o,$(SourceFiles)
at> # Ensures that intermediate files folder exists.
at> IntermediateFiles:
at> if [ ! -d IntermediateFiles ]; then mkdir IntermediateFiles; fi
at> IntermediateFiles/%.o: SourceFiles/%.cpp | IntermediateFiles
at> gcc -c $< -o $@
Technically, this command line should be:
gcc -o $@ -c $<
or even:
gcc -c -o $@ $<
The filename is not an argument to the -c option: it's a normal argument
by itself. The -c option doesn't take an argument: it's a standalone
option.
However, GCC, like most GNU tools, doesn't require all options to come
before other arguments. This is not your problem.
