What you need is a set of make rules like the following:
include $(patsubst %.o:%.dep,$(OBJS))
$(BUILD)/%.d : %.c
gcc -MM -MG $< | sed -e "1s@^\([^ ]*\)\.o:@$(BUILD)/\1.d $(BUILD)/\1.o:@" > $(BUILD)/$(@F)
which should sort out including the dependencies into the Makefile and
regenerating them when necessary.
Slightly hacked from a work makefile. $(BUILD) is the directory where
the object and dependency files end up, and $(OBJS) is a set of object
file names, including the $(BUILD) prefix. Hack about to your heart's
content :)
nb. Untested code -- I've cut out a few (hopefully) irrelevant work
specific bits. The above is probably gnu make specific.
cheers,
Phil
