simple way to compile ragel examples (one source per executable)

Makefile

RAGELFILES:= $(wildcard *.rl)
EXECUTABLES:= $(patsubst %.rl, %, $(RAGELFILES))
LDFLAGS+= -lstdc++

%.cc : %.rl
	ragel -G2 -C -o $@ $<

all: $(EXECUTABLES)

clean:
	rm -vf $(EXECUTABLES)

# Uncomment this to preserve the generated .cc files
# .SECONDARY: $(patsubst %.rl, %.cc, $(RAGELFILES))

.PHONY: all clean
