makefiles - compile all c files at once

Question

I want to experiment with GCC whole program optimizations. To do so I have to pass all C-files at once to the compiler frontend. However, I use makefiles to automate my build process, and I'm not an expert when it comes to makefile magic.

How should I modify the makefile if I want to compile (maybe even link) using just one call to GCC?

For reference - my makefile looks like this:

LIBS  = -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lopengl32
CFLAGS = -Wall

OBJ = 64bitmath.o    \
      monotone.o     \
      node_sort.o    \
      planesweep.o   \
      triangulate.o  \
      prim_combine.o \
      welding.o      \
      test.o         \
      main.o

%.o : %.c
    gcc -c $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@

test: $(OBJ)
    gcc -o $@ $^ $(CFLAGS) $(LIBS)

Answer 1

LIBS  = -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lopengl32
CFLAGS = -Wall

# (This should be the actual list of C files)
SRC=$(wildcard '*.c')

test: $(SRC)
    gcc -o $@ $^ $(CFLAGS) $(LIBS)

Not really an answer but a suggestion for the O'Reilly book "Managing Projects with GNU make" (Amazon link) as it's an excellent resource.
