Simple makefile

If writing a makefile isn't your strong suit, you can use the one from this repo. It's simple and takes care of the following:

  • make will compile everything under the src/ directory.

    • By default, the binary is called simulator and is placed in the root of your repository.
    • You can have any number of subdirectories, called whatever you want.
    • Dependencies are automatically wired up, so if you change a file, make will only rebuild the things that changed as a result.

  • All the intermediate objects and artifacts are placed in an auto-generated bin directory.

  • make clean will remove the binary (simulator) and the bin/ directory.

  • Uses C++11 by default.

  • Compiles with debugging symbols (-g) so you can debug your program.

There's also a .gitignore file that ignores the appropriate things. Feel free to use it. Or not.

Hope it helps!
