useful tool: CMAKE
I think CMAKE is a much better makefile generator than automake, here is my text procedure:
listing below is my project catalog view:
/project-root/-------CMakeLists.txt
|
|----------build/
|
|----------src/------main.c
|
|--------include/------util.h
|
|--------backend/Here I will introduce the usage of these files:
1.CMakeLists.txt file is the cmake configure file which is the most important file in this project mayby.
2.src folder is a place where source code in, and I put the main.c file just at the root of src folder. Other files can be easily recognized literally.
3.build folder is a place where generated source and object file exists, which have no need to stay with source code.
src/include/util.h this is a head file which just include some useful macro defines

# include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
TYPE a=2;
printf("%d\n",a);
printf("Rugal Bernstein\n\n");
return 0;
}
cmake configuration file
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
# define cmake compiler version
PROJECT(Rugal C)
# name of project and programming language
SET(SRC_LIST src/main.c)
# please list all .c files that need to compile
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(src/header)
# please list all user define include folder and external link head
ADD_EXECUTABLE(Rugal ${SRC_LIST})
# executable file name, which just compile ${SRC_LIST} into in.
SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "-O0 -ggdb -w -std=c99")
# some flags that needs to set as you wish
SET(LIBRARIES libm.so)
# also you can set external library in set command
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(Rugal ${LIBRARIES})
# never forget to link them with executable fileAfter this, just cd into build folder and type
cmake ..
which means read CMakeLists.txt configuration file from outside the build folder.
And now you will have a good Makefile for you to make
enjoy your CMAKE!
