build - Writing makefile to compile several binaries -

i trying write makefile compile 87 files following names: file1.c, file2.c file3.c .... file87.c

i trying compile them separate binaries names: file1, file2, file3 .... file87

in makefile need define following variables each , every 1 of them. this had originally.

file1 = file1 $(file1)_src := \         mydir/file1.c \         mydir/another.c  $(file1)_cflags := `pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0` $(file1)_ldflags := -l. `pkg-config --libs glib-2.0`  file2 = file2 $(file2)_src := \         mydir/file2.c \         mydir/another.c  $(file2)_cflags := `pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0` $(file2)_ldflags := -l. `pkg-config --libs glib-2.0` 

also @ end of makefile need store names of binaries

binaries = $(file1) $(file2) ...... $(file87) 

i explored loops , define directive in make cannot understand how can neatly in non-cumbersome manner. please note cflags , ldflags same of them.

any inputs or alternative approaches writing makefile welcome.

i wrote based on seldon's answer below, gives error:

srcs = $(wildcard mydir/*.c) tgts = $(srcs:%.c=%)  cflags  = $$(pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0) ldflags = -l. ldlibs  = $$(pkg-config --libs glib-2.0)  all: $(tgts)     @echo $(srcs)     @echo $(tgts)  $(tgts) : % : %.o another.o  #clean:  #   rm -f $(tgts) *.o  #.phony: clean  $ make cc $(pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0)   -c -o mydir/another.o mydir/another.c make: *** no rule make target `another.o', needed `mydir/another'.  stop. 

source:

another.c

# include <stdio.h> # include <stdlib.h>  void print_string(const char * file_name, int lineno, const char * func_name) {      printf("%s %d %s\n", file_name, lineno, func_name);  } 

file01.c

int main() {      print_string(__file__, __line__, __func__); } 

any appreciated.

if variables same programs, use static pattern rule this:

srcs = $(wildcard file*.c) tgts = $(srcs:%.c=%)  cflags  = $$(pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0) ldflags = -l. ldlibs  = $$(pkg-config --libs glib-2.0)  all: $(tgts)  $(tgts) : % : %.o another.o  clean:     rm -f $(tgts) *.o  .phony: clean
