IMHO, manually writing and maintaining Makefiles is a waste of time.
These days, CMake is the de facto standard for building C++ code. Even though the syntax takes some time to get used to, it's not nearly as cryptic as Make.
For example:Then compile it using:The basics are very simple:

- Set the properties of those targets (e.g. the include path);
- Use target_link_libraries to express dependencies between targets.
