General simple makefile I share with students and friends learning C or C++

General Simple Makefile with debug

CC      = g++
CFLAGS  = -std=c++14 -Wall -fPIC -g
LDFLAGS = -std=c++14 -Wall -fPIC -g 
TARGET  = stuff

all: $(TARGET)

$(TARGET): $(TARGET).o
    $(CC) -o $@ $^ $(LDFLAGS)

$(TARGET).o: $(TARGET).cpp
    $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $<

.PHONY: clean cleanest

clean:
    rm *.o $(TARGET)

cleanest: clean
    rm $(TARGET)

Change target to name of the file.cpp that will become the name of the executable.
