I'm not the person you're responding to, but I tend to build multiple
programs in a directory with relatively simple Makefiles (though the
included file is rather complex).

For example, here is the Makefile for a directory containing two
programs, each of which is built from a single .c file and has a
manpage; one of the .c files is built from lex source.  (The OBJ_*
lines are actually redundant; this Makefile is nearly 8 years old.)

	BUILDBINS = char-to-code code-to-char
	OBJ_char-to-code = char-to-code.o
	OBJ_code-to-char = code-to-char.o
	INSTALLMAN = char-to-code.1 code-to-char.1
	
	.MAIN: $(BUILDBINS) $(INSTALLMAN:C/1$/cat1/)
	
	code-to-char.c: code-to-char.lex
	        $(LEX) -o$(.TARGET) $(.ALLSRC)
	CLEANFILES += code-to-char.c
	
	.include <local-prog>

All the hair is in <local-prog>.  You can fetch it by FTP; get
ftp.rodents.montreal.qc.ca:/mouse/local/src/makefiles/makefiles-20030721/local-prog
if you're interested.

Is it portable? It depends on having a BSD make, but I *think*
everything I've done should work onj pretty much any BSD make.
