Makefile for simple C++ OpenGL program - c++

Question

I'm trying to write a makefile for an OpenGL program written in C++ (OSX).
Right now, there is only the single file chess.cpp, but I expect to add other files to the project, so I'm trying to create a makefile that I can expand to handle new files as needed. I'm getting these errors:
clang: error: no such file or directory: 'chess.o'
clang: warning: -framework GLUT: 'linker' input unused
clang: warning: -framework OpenGL: 'linker' input unused
make: *** [chess.o] Error 1
This is the makefile that I created. It's borrowed from something that I normally use for C programs, so if it looks strange, that could be why. How can I make this work for my C++ project?
CC = g++
CFLAGS = -c -g -Wall -Wextra
DEPS =
LDFLAGS = -framework GLUT -framework OpenGL
all: chess
%.o: %.cpp $(DEPS)
$(CC) -c -o $# $< $(CFLAGS)
chess.o: chess.cpp
$(CC) -c chess.cpp chess.o $(LDFLAGS)
chess: chess.o
$(CC) -o chess.o (LDFLAGS)
clean:
rm chess
rm *.o

Answer 1

There's a couple of errors:
First:
%.o: %.cpp $(DEPS)
$(CC) -c -o $# $< $(CFLAGS)
This compiles all .cpp files and everything in $(DEPS) into their respective .o files.
This makes the following line redundant: (although this line appends the linker flags, which the previous does not)
chess.o: chess.cpp
$(CC) -c chess.cpp chess.o $(LDFLAGS)
Even so, the line has an error. It is missing the output file option -o. The correct syntax is:
chess.o: chess.cpp
$(CC) -c chess.cpp -o chess.o $(LDFLAGS)
And finally:
chess: chess.o
$(CC) -o chess.o (LDFLAGS)
This line is missing an input argument. Make doesn't know what to compile. Also you are using the dependency file name as output argument. The filename directly after option -o specifies the output. Also a $ is missing at (LDFLAGS). The correct syntax should read:
chess: chess.o
$(CC) chess.o -o chess $(LDFLAGS)
