This the makefile that I use to build my C/C++ code. I compiled this over a few years, with some help from LLMs.

• It assumes C is used.
• Defines src, include, bin, obj, lib directories.
• Finds all .c files in src directory and its subdirectories.
• Generates object file paths by replacing src with obj and .c with .o.
• Finds all subdirectories in include directory and adds -I flags.
• Automatically detects and links static libraries from lib directory.
• Generates dependency files for automatic rebuilds.
• Compiles .c files into .o files, preserving directory structure.
• Links object and library files into executable files.
• Supports debug and release build modes.
• Runs the executable file.

• Put your code in src directory.
• Put your header files in include directory.
• Put your library files in lib directory.
• Run make run to compile and run the executable file.
• Run make clean to clean up the object files and executable files.
• Run make BUILD=release to build optimized version.
• Run make distclean to remove all generated files and directories.
