Hi all,

I want to generate a single dependency file which consists of all the dependencies of source files using gcc -M flags through Makefile. I googled for this solution but, all the solutions mentioned are for generating multiple deps files for multiple objects.

DEPS = make.dep

$(OBJS): $(SOURCES)
    @$(CC) -MM $(SOURCEs) > $(DEPS)
    @mv -f $(DEPS) $(DEPS).tmp
    @sed -e 's|.$@:|$@:|' < $(DEPS).tmp > $(DEPS)
    @sed -e 's/.*://' -e 's/\\$$//' < $(DEPS).tmp | fmt -1 | \
      sed -e 's/^ *//' -e 's/$$/:/' >> $(DEPS)
    @rm -f $(DEPS).tmp

But it is not working properly. Please tell me where i'm making the mistake.
